More than 5 years ago, Michel Guyot, the owner of a historic castle in France, began a unique and experimental project to rebuild a medieval fortress. The purpose of the project was to rebuild the thirteenth -century construction methods with the utmost precision and loyalty to historical details. Workers and masters have succeeded in rebuilding much of the Gueedelon Castle, using hand tools, local materials and traditional techniques, and presenting a live experience of architecture and life in the Middle Ages.
The Gudlon project is not only a historical reconstruction but also a great educational opportunity. Visitors can closely see the process of building walls, towers, ceilings and even wooden doors and become familiar with the engineering and architectural methods of the time.
Each year, about 6,000 people, including history, architects, students and tourists visit Gudlon. Each corner of the castle, from medieval interiors to defensive towers and masters workshops, has a story to tell and take visitors to time. Therefore, Godlon is a prominent example of the combination of history, education and tourism, and a bridge between the past and the present. (Atlantic)
