About Chateau de Guedelon

Add to favorites

Guédelon is, above all, a scientific, historical, educational, touristic, and human construction site. At a time when nature and ecology are the watchwords, Guédelon is also a building site where the Middle Ages offer numerous avenues for the green builders of tomorrow. Guédelon is a pioneering construction site: they will tell you all about cob walls, the assembly of rubble stones, lime walls, the making of clay or wooden tiles, the use of natural pigments, and the braiding of linen or hemp ropes.
