At the Burgbauplatz square, young and young at heart take a fascinating journey back in time to the Middle Ages. Here you can admire a castle using medieval methods, without motors and electricity and instead with human and animal power as well as natural building materials. You immerse yourself in the Middle Ages, step out of the everyday narrow, oppressive time schedule and into a „delayed time“ and marvel at the blacksmiths, carpenters, sawyers, stonecutters, bricklayers, and carters at work.
