Building a Medieval Castle with Centuries-Old Techniques

Not pertaining to Warcraft, but I just thought this was cool so I'm sharing:
It’s hard to fathom how magnificent castles were built centuries ago. One group set out to understand just that by building their own masterpiece two hours outside of Paris. Tucked away in a forest, a team of master builders and archeologists are attempting to construct Guédelon, a castle from the 13th century, using only medieval techniques.

Edit: This is not a new project, but I'm just finding out about it now.
