I see many a historical picture being filmed there in the future. That being said, a project is being undertaken in Burgundy, France called Guedelon. In Arkansas it won't confuse the pre-existing medieval landscape, as North America's medieval period left very different physical remains. In Arkansas you don't have to justify its location, save for finding the resources that are appropriate. It would also give a false sense of strategic locations and important waterways/passages. If you chose to build a castle in France nowhere near any historical locations you would be asked what part of history that does represent, as it is not representative of anybody. By contrast the one in Arkansas is being built to an ideal, or a standard and can include many different aspects of a medieval French castle, aspects which were prevalent in many castles, but which would necessarily have been built altogether in any one place. you would have to build a replica of the castle that was there before. You couldn't build on ruins and if you build it over top of where a castle used to stand you interfere with future archaeological projects, and you would have to worry about maintaining authenticity, i.e. If you were building it in France there is the question of where would you put it. In many ways 'outside of Europe' may be an ideal way to undertake this project. It is interesting that this is taking place in the American Heartland. The project has been taken up largely by locals, who hope to be involved with this for quite a few years. The construction methods and equipment are also all authentic, save for some updates to satisfy modern safety regulations. The project will be going on for about 30 years but the site is already open. The land was chosen not only for its resemblance to the French countryside, but because of its proximity to a quarry. Holly Cemetery, 1200 Broadway St, Little Rock, AR 72202, USA. Michel Guyot agreed, and after raising 1.5 million in investments the Ozark Medieval Fortress was begun. A ghost hunter with just the proper attitude and courage might be able to carry on a conversation with a celebrity spirit at Mount Holly Cemetery, which is often billed as one of the most haunted cemeteries in Arkansas.
One year he received a letter from someone who had visited one of hisĬastles, and who had told them that the Ozark forest, their home, bore a remarkable resemblance to parts of the French countryside, and suggested that it would be a great place for a castle. The project was begun by Michel Guyot, a frenchman who had worked to restore castles in France.
