Today it will be colourful! From 1 p.m., our "people from Starigard" will be devoting themselves to the topics of colours, jewellery and clothing from the early Middle Ages. - In short: It's about luxury from back then! 

Experience for yourself in hands-on activities and demonstrations what the medieval equivalent of the golden wristwatch was, for example.
