Fodor's Expert Review Burgbau

Friesach Notable Building Fodor's Choice

How was a medieval castle built? The team at Burgbau are finding out, building a castle to exacting medieval standards: no electricity, no modern tools, and only natural materials. The aim is not only to build an "authentic" castle, but also to keep these heritage crafts alive. When complete, the complex will include a residential tower, residential building with a chapel, castle courtyard, farm buildings, and a castle garden. You will see stone workers, ironmongers, and carpenters at work and discover the how and why of medieval construction practices.
