When marveling at grand old buildings, it's common to think, "They just don't build them like this anymore." But at a new castle in France, that saying does not apply.
In northwest Burgundy, two hours south of Paris, a castle is being built with the same materials, tools, and techniques that would have been used during the 13th century. The Guedelon Castle has been under construction for nearly 20 years, and serves as an immersive research and education project about medieval life and architecture.
