Just minutes from Caen, step back in time to the Middle Ages and explore the Carolingian village, the Viking trading post, and the motte-and-bailey castle.

Three immersive settings to get up close with the daily lives of 10th-century men and women.

DURING THESE THREE DAYS, MANY WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES AWAIT YOU.
Enjoy storytelling, investigations, archery, the art of weaving, help our guides set up Viking tents, and try your hand at making fireboxes...

In the newly opened ducal area, discover the world of knights around the motte-and-bailey castle and strike your own medieval coin.

And for brave young adventurers, join a Norman lord’s army, take part in maneuvers, and face off against rebels in a playful battle to free Ornavik’s castle.
