This place really lives up to what is said about it. They actually do everything that is made in a medieval way. Everywhere, from the starting point (information center) to all workshops, are provided with Dutch or English texts. This allows you to give a 'tour' to children yourself. Quite a lot of staff working on the project on a daily basis also speak reasonable English.
It really feels like stepping back in time and it is very special to realize every place you walk that it is all handmade by the people who work there. From the ropes, mills and stones to the roofs, decorations and towers.
As a volunteer you can also participate for one or more days, to learn from the old-fashioned building techniques. This way you become part of this scientific practical research!
