Maybe somebody knows the place I mean or remembers that thread, and re-link it, forum search, like so often, fails me again. Would like to know how far they got by now, its been some years since I checked their project last time. It was pretty mighty much impressive!

Skybird,

I think this is the place you mean. An amazing project using original techniques.

Battle Castle host Dan Snow on-site at Guedelon, France, where a castle is currently being built using only medieval techniques.

Guédelon ist ein Burgbauprojekt auf dem Gebiet der französischen Gemeinde Treigny im Département Yonne. Nach den Prinzipien der Experimentellen Archäologie werden bei diesem Rekonstruktionsprojekt nur Techniken aus dem 13. Jahrhundert angewandt, der Baubeginn war 1997
