Live a Day in the Tannenburg Living Castle

Don’t you wish you could travel back into time and experience what life in a castle was really like? Now you can! Your tour group can spend the day (exclusively) at Tannenburg Castle and turn back the pages of time. Whether you enjoy a sumptuous meal fit for a King or learn about work in a 14th century castle, there is something of fascinating interest for everyone. Tannenburg Castle is different from other castles you might visit in Europe, because it’s a “Living Castle”. Once you pass the castle gates, you’ll be transported direct in the Middle Ages. You’ll be mustered by gate guards, see knights practice fencing, and watch peasants and craftsmen go about their daily work. Later in the Great Hall, you be served by servants and entertained by troubadours. This isn't a do-not-touch tour down roped-off aisles, but a hands-on experience inside a real living castle, exclusively for the tour group. Here you can take a meal just like in the 14th century, stand ring-side at a sword fight, feel the heat of the metal being hammered by the blacksmith, or even get your hands dirty plastering half-timbered walls. All part of Days of Yore Travel.
