Late Middle Ages

On Easter Sunday, the historical park is the scene of a historical market day.

More than two hundred archers from Bulgaria, Turkey, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. will take part in the tournament and will compete in archery with the ancient bow types from the Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

On 18.06 and 19.06, the Historical Park will host the Second International Medieval Festival "New Beginning", organised on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the opening of the largest cultural and historical attraction in the world and dedicated to the establishment of the Bulgarian state on the Lower Danube at the end of the VIIth century (680-681).

The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at the Ohio State University invites anyone interested to register for the following Zoom presentations: 

Virtual workshop with live stream and fire bat set

The craft weekends are entirely devoted to the special historical crafts from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages. Every weekend there is a different theme, such as pottery, blacksmithing or clothing and textile processing. 

For anyone interested in crafts or history in general, these are the weekends you don't want to miss!

Sweet, sour and salty past

The Bayeux Tapestry is considered to be one of the most famous handicraft pieces of the Middle Ages. On its 68 meters, the embroidery depicts the conquest of England from a contemporary perspective. 

Bones, legs, horns, antlers and teeth - it's wonderful what you can use from animals. When there was no plastic, for example, combs and buttons were made from antlers and were accordingly expensive.

Horn is elastic and becomes soft when heated - not only bow ends are made from it, but all kinds of everyday devices.

Following the great success of the Virtual World Draft Animal Congress ("Draft Animals in the Past, Present and Future) in 2021, the World Draft Cattle Symposium will be held in Lorsch (Germany) from March 8-9, 2024.
