Experience castle building in Friesach
Castle construction in Friesach is extraordinary in itself: a hilltop castle is being built on a mountain hill south of the medieval town of Friesach with the craftsmanship from bygone times. The focus of interest is the process of building without the aid of modern equipment. Only through the traditional craftsmanship of those involved, supported by powerful Noriker horses, a castle complex with two towers, palas, curtain walls and chapel emerges in a construction period of around 40 years.
The construction site is a "history laboratory". The visitors can watch the craftsmen supported by ESF funds in their arduous activities, rediscover knowledge that was believed to be lost and thus learn from the past. You will experience everyday life in the Middle Ages, immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, step out of the daily narrow, oppressive time schedule and into a "delayed time". And they marvel at the contemporary medieval handicraft that used to get by without technical aids. You "experience" the authentic working day on a medieval construction site in peace and tranquility.
