About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The “Kastanienhof” is a historical timber-framed farm house under preservation order in Thuringia. It is situated in a small village surrounded by a beautiful landscape. The farm house is owned by an association that aims to preserve nature in an ecologically responsible and sustainable way. They conduct organic agriculture on their 2 hectare land with focus on the conservation of old useful plants and native animals. On the second weekend, there will be a trip to a medieval festival where the association sells its own products.

💼 What the programme involves

Reconstruction work on the outside of the house, partly with clay, (work on a scaffold!), a little bit of farm work, work with wood, helping at the medieval festival.
