I appreciate their dedication to realism but the worldwide pandemic was a bit much

MODERATORS
Granted, like last time, we have a labour shortage and the average workers wages are rising. There might still be some good things to come. I say they should skip a few centuries ahead and move on to putting the ultra-rich in guillotines. That always seems to bring cheers from the masses.
In Germany there is a similar project with a monastery.
That's interesting do you have any more information?
Cylindrical towers of the castle have slits for shooting arrows, known as arrow loops, which are spaced to avoid dead angles. "These arrow loops are a bit like modern security cameras," says Preston. "They're a way of seeing out without being seen."
i love castles and keeps
I've never visited an authentic castle before but hopefully I will someday. They can be pretty spectacular though.
definitely go when you get a chance, they really are cool.. this one looks like a truly special place to visit though, i really want to see it and the people who have been working there for years..
Maybe someday I'll be able to visit Europe. It isn't in the cards right now but who knows what the future might bring.
Yeah. Thing is, people back then have a different timescale for such projects. Usually it would take 20-100 years or more to finish.
In the final paragraph they're estimating it'll be complete in 20 more years on the outside. But who knows how long it'll actually take.
Been there last summer, awesome place, lots of workers who are going about making parts of the castle. Blacksmiths making nails and chisels, masons working on bricks, people making dyes for clothes. It goes slowly but steadily. And remarkably quiet compared to modern construction.
They aren't in character, like you see someone in living history. They just make stuff and tell you about it.
Lovely experience if you're into history it's a unique experience.
That sounds really special. I'm glad you got to go.
