Beschreibung
Since 5 years we are saving a German fairy tale castle from decaying and being lost in time and make it our private home. We - this is us - Nicole and Axel. Nicole - a professional marketeer, costume designer and garden lover and Axel a professional carpenter and teacher. We do all the craftsmenships on our own in this lifetime project. With us - there a living a bunch of great people in the castle: friends, a harp builder, a baker, a professor and an artist. All in a all - those great people share the castle with 4 cats, a dog and 4 bee colonies. Yes - we also have our own honey. Living with us comes as well with a rare plus - we are real knights. 3 of us are sports professionals in "Full Contact Historic Medival Swordfighting". No show- real sport. Cage fight in a 40kg heavy armor. Ever heard of the "Battle of the Nations" or "Buhurt"? Just have a look in Youtube. So, when you work with us, you are also more than welcome to train with us!
So, if you a are handyman of ANY kind of profession (carpenter, painter, mechanic, plumber or?) - you have found the right place to be to support us, learn new crafts, share experiences and have a great time! If you are not - don't worry, we can teach you and will find the perfect experience for you!Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Axel is a well known carpenter for historic buildings and renovating 24/7 our home were we live privately. So during your stay you will not even immerse yourself in history and German culture, you could also learn historic craftsmen skills: from painting the walls with like our ancestors did, helping with clay to plaster the walls (innovative), renovating old furniture (interesting) or making our private castle garden an oecologic paradise for animals (cool). All in our private space, home & private garden.
So, depending on your profession, skills and experience - we will have the right learning experience for you to spend a great time in a real castle with real knights - lets say just great people who are eager to get to know you!Sprachen

You just have to start cooking for yourself ;-) You have also access to our private beer and wine cellar - filled with fine German beer, schnaps and wine.
Was noch ...
The castle is located in the middle of Germany, 40mins from Frankfurt. Train and bus services are great and the region itself (Wetterau/Vogelsberg) is full of history. The celts and romans settled here, museums, parks and places reflect that time very well. The hometown of the Brothers Grimm is also nearby - you literally live in a fairy tale area. In not more than 20minutes you are up on a hill hiking, skiing in the winter or swimming in natural lakes in the summer.
