The Château de Guédelon (French: Château de Guedelon) is a castle in Treigny (Yonne, France) built in the 20th and 21st centuries using medieval techniques. The design is inspired by 13th-century building plans from the time of Philip II of France, and follows the ideas of experimental archaeology.

It started in 1997 as an amateur project of restorer Michel Guyot. Guyot, while studying the red-brick castle of Saint Fargeau from the 15th century, discovered that it was built on a medieval fortified castle. This gave him the idea to recreate such a castle using the original techniques. Initially he was not taken seriously, but when it gradually became clear that he was serious, the French government and the European Union provided 2.5 million euros in subsidy. The project is now self-supporting through donations, entrance fees and sales.
Guédelon answers the questions of how such a building came about, where the materials came from, how the material was supplied, and what tools and lifting equipment were used. Maryline Martin looked for a suitable location, convinced governments and partners, took care of permits and recruited workers. During the Middle Ages, the transport of building materials was slow and expensive, so a place was chosen in the forest of Guédelon, near a quarry where wood, clay, sand and water are also sufficiently available.
