Château de Guédelon stands in Treigny-Perreuse-Sainte-Colombe (Yonne), in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.

Guédelon is not an old castle but a construction site in progress, where craftspeople have spent years building a 13th-century-style fortress using only period tools and materials. Visitors can watch stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths and millers at work, in a project designed as a piece of experimental archaeology. Located in the commune of Treigny-Perreuse-Sainte-Colombe, in the Yonne department, the site is as much about the builders as about the stone taking shape.
