Late Middle Ages

A late Byzantine Living History Event

We extend our cordial invitation to you to participate in the upcoming International Archaeological Conference "Medieval Castles of Eastern Europe in the Context of European History: Current Issues of Archaeological Research and Reconstruction" to be held in Zvyagel, Zhytomyr region, Ukraine, on October 3-4, 2024.

Summer is almost over, and we’ll celebrate this with a large annual medieval party on 24 and 25 August. For two days, the preHistorisch Dorp will host a large market in medieval style, where traders offer their goods. The annual medieval market is meant for everyone who enjoys a lively spectacle of artisans, knights, merchants, storytellers, and more.

Heroes, anti-heroes and villains: How we (re)create, use and dismantle them.

Join us between 11 and 14 April 2025 for the Interpret Europe conference entitled Heroes, anti-heroes and villains: How we (re)create, use and dismantle them.

When you see finds from the Middle Ages in the museum display cases, you can easily get the impression that everything back then was in dull earth tones. But in fact the Middle Ages loved parties and colors at least as much as we do - it was in fact a very, very colorful time, and the brown, gray and dull colors we know from museums are only due to the fact that things are so old.

Join Caroline of Pario Gallico and Jess from Butser Ancient Farm at the launch event of our newest working group, which will focus on building practices!

Time: 16:00 CEST
