Ozark Medieval FortressAbout UsA castle in the making! Come and see how!
Have you ever dreamed of medieval castles?
Real strongholds of the past, built with quarried stones, felled oaks, forged tools, and bare hands, like 700 years ago?
Do you wonder how it felt to raise these fortresses from the ground up, to perform such an amazing feat?
The Ozark Medieval Fortress is a thrilling educational, scientific, and emotional experience, a soaring flight into ages past, a living history book!
In front of visitors, authentically dressed masons, carpenters, stone carvers and dedicated artisans will work for the next 20 years raising a genuine, full-sized, fortified castle with towers ranging from 40 to 70 ft in height, a drawbridge, 6 foot wide stone walls which surround an expansive inner courtyard.
Artisans using tools, techniques, and rules from 700 years ago, recreate the Middle Ages in Europe in a green environment: no electricity, no engines, just bare hands and the natural resources of the site.
Ozark Medieval Fortress wants everyone who visits to interact with artisans and take away with them a new experience.
Ozark Medieval Fortress’ goal is to invite Americans to adopt this project so that it will become a place unique on American soil where everyone can learn about castle heritage without needing a passport.
