About the project

Brekov Castle

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Association for the rescue of the Brekov Castle is concerned with the conservation of the Brekov Castle, and renovating some of its parts. Besides this, the association is involved in collecting information about the Brekov castle, guide activities (from archives, literature, inhabitants), fundraising, providing information to the wide public and organizing cultural events connected with the castle. Workcamps have been organized on the Brekov Castle since 2009.

💼 What the programme involves

Reconstruction work in the area of the ancient ruins of the castle Brekov from the 13th century. Much of the work will involve manual masonry works. The volunteers will help with the archaeological research on the castle. Cleaning and environmental activities will be also part of the work. The volunteers will learn the old techniques of masonry.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation will be provided in the house in the village Brekov. In case of good weather there is a possibility to sleep in tents near the castle. It is necessary to bring a sleeping bag and a mat. Showers and facilities, hot water and fully equipped kitchen are provided in the house. Groceries will be provided by the local community. Food will be cooked by the volunteers themselves. On demand, vegetarian meals can be provided.

📍 About the location

Brekov is a village near Humenne in the Presov Region of north-eastern Slovakia. The ruins of the Brekov Castle are located on the hill above the village and are in fairly good shape. Brekov Castle was built around 650 AD by the Slavonic nations. The area offers several possibilities for hiking or visiting several ruins of other castles.

⚠️ Requirements

Sleeping bags and mats, working clothes, warm clothes, raincoat, strong boots and good spirit :) are needed.

ℹ️ Additional information

The workcamp will be visited by INEX Messenger who will organize a workshop focused on current events in Europe. The volunteers will prepare the "Feast of cultures" - an international food festival for the local community, and will join the “volunteering footprint” workshop. Our camps will follow the rules of the Sustainability campaign.
