“Craftsmen Build a Medieval-Style Castle”

Once upon a time, deep in the forests of Burgundy, a man was haunted by a vision. He dreamed of building a castle, with turrets, great walls and a moat. Some people wondered if he was mad.

This was, after all, 1996.

And yet Michel Guyot set out to build his castle the hard way – the medieval way. With only hammers and chisels to carve the stones. With only horses to cart the rock. Without power tools.
