A theme park. Over the next 40 years, a new town will spring up in 14th century style.
A nature site. The town is being built at the heart of a preserved, open-air highland area. Make sure you wear clothing adapted to the weather.
A site for volunteers. You can lend a hand on a voluntary basis. Contact the builders!
On site there is a shop to buy some souvenirs of your experience and continue the adventure at home, plus a picnic area, refreshments and snacks.
A wide range of visiting options are available. Non-guided visit, visit to the building site with commentary, a storytelling visit to immerse yourself in history and an interactive visit to get to know the medieval building techniques.
