In the forests of Burgundy in central France, there's a bold effort underway to build a medieval castle, as they would have in an era before electricity, using ancient tools and laying stones by hand. Correspondent Seth Doane visits Guédelon, a project that has expanded into a modern medieval village, and meets a new generation of specialist artisans embracing the ways of another time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but everything has been built using techniques and materials of the time. Only 3 contemporary items can be found on the site,: ropes, goggles and working shoes, all this for insurance reasons. Everything else, from the iron for the tools, to the last roof tile was produced on the premises, with the materials found on the premises.

As a modern (as far as I can claim that) blacksmith, I can tell you that the steel they use is very much modern and not locally sourced. You can see the homogeneous steel as it's being heated to red hot. Old fashioned iron has a different look to it. Next they would use a medium/high carbon insert in their tools for the working end, you would see a line between the two different materials. Creating iron bloom and subsequently steel from raw materials is a highly laborious process, that will yield a low(er) quality material compared to modern materials. The blacksmithing processes however are very much of the age. You don't have to be 100% authentic, it's close enough.

I think it's also important to note that going back and exploring long abandoned/forgotten methods can help reveal things we may have missed when upgrading to the next best thing. We may had improved but what did we give up for that and can we utilize what was given up today now that technology has gone even further! I absolutely love seeing how the castle has progressed over the years.

I was hired to replicate an end table for this one couple, they took photos, measurements, and the initials and symbol of the maker. It was the guy that trained my grandfather, so I sent them an image of the design for the table about 10 minutes later and my mark. same symbol as the guy that made it, but with my initials. those guys were in California, and I was in PA. I ended up making a buffet for their dining room in the same design and my uncle made a few more things for them. One thing I learned, how to turn a 4 ft log into a chest and even the brass work on it.

My town used to be a roman fort so we also have something like this in our town but roman style. It used to be a lot bigger back in the day, but sadly due to lack of tourist they had to scale down a lot. It used to also show how the tribal people outside of the roman fort (and more specifcally locally) lived. You could even go there and bake bread the roman way etc... very cool.

The knowledge of the old ways, along with the benefit of modern research to prevent the use of harmful substances. The best of both worlds, brought together to keep history alive for the modern age. I love to hear that the skills developed and honed there are helping to restore Notre-Dame. Proof, if there ever was any, that the ways of the past were not only better in some ways, but still as relevant as ever. Imagine how hard it would've otherwise been to find people with the knowledge and hands-on skill for such an undertaking, were it not for the years that this wonderful place had been growing. Amazing. I hope to go there and see it myself, someday.

In many French cities for the last ten years or so they had to destroy buildings from the 1960's, recent 50-60 year old buildings, because they were already on the point of collapsing, whereas in the historic centers some buildings built centuries ago, as far back as the middle-ages, are still standing straight and strong.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="199">3:19</a> For those wondering where the Freemasons came from, the Notre Dame fire is a great example: they used skilled workers from hundreds of kilometres away. All trades in those days were ruled by a Guild you had to be a member of. This was to ensure quality but also to protect the local trades market. It meant you couldn't work outside of your Guild's area, with huge fines and expulsion for those who did. The only tradespeople allowed to work where they wanted, were the masons as they were needed to build massive cathedrals. It was impossible to all get them in the Guild of the area or the communicate with they Guilds the workers belonged to. A system of secret handshakes was developed, amongst other things, to identify yourself. It is impossible to forge a complex handshake, which you need to know. Being able to work in a highly sought after trade, made masons rich and influential for their social position. The ability to move to different cities for work, meant they travelled much more than the average person and learned a lot more. Not just knowledge, but people. Over time, it became a society of rich and powerful people. Nothing secret, as it has been known since the day they started.

Secrets of the Castle with Ruth Goodman and Peter Ginn is very good. The spent three months there documenting how the process of how things would have been done during the time period, and how the workers would have lived. They were working one of the corner towers during that time. The artisans did have advanced math (e.g. geometry) - they just didn't share it, considering it a trade secret.

I believe it was on the history squad or the one that does features about doing excavations in a few days, if you know what I am talking about you know. The reference was a castle that took YEARS to build. They employed so many people around the clock that there was a line of people constantly for years, all hours of the day, and it was there for so long that merchants set up shop next to the waiting line so people could get things while they were waiting to do their work. If I remember correctly, it was around the clock work and a few thousand people were employed. I think it took 5 years to build. Its an English castle, there are records of this, so maybe what I said, to those that are curious, is enough for them to know which one. But the idea that this castle was unique in that regard is probably not true. Its likely that some castles too much more work, people and time. Now, imagine our modern idea of what a worksite is supposed to be like. Also, it has taken that long, but a "medieval village" has sprung up around it. Much like castles back then. People got used to the influx of people and settled there. And it offered protection. Even without war, a castle seems to be an economy builder.

I knew about it from a British documentary series from over a decade ago. It's amazing to see the progress they've made. At this point I wonder if they'll ever finish construction or if they'll keep trying to add to it.

I always thought it would be cool to build a castle but with all the modern conveniences on the inside.
