Besides that, there is the Curia which exists of a nobleman’s house, 2 tower gates and palisade and 4 houses in various stages of construction. The buildings represent typical buildings of this period according to the type of settlement. They are not based on single excavations.
Activities comprise of living history, construction of the settlement, but as well experiments in forging and casting metal. Special attention goes to clothing and its usage in various weather conditions.
The gradual construction of the settlement is done by the association members and other people who at the same time make the site alive by various activities. The site also is a networking and meeting place for people interested in historical activities.
When they started in 1999, re-enactment in the Czech Republic was very popular, but the quality and historicity was on low level, And no organised groups were focused on the early middle ages. After 10 years, other groups emerged everywhere in the country. The quality and accuracy of period equipment is admired by re-enactors from other periods.
