The Building Workshop
In the Building Workshop, craftsmen toiled with the enormous quantity of materials used to construct Glimmingehus.
The late-medieval building workshops were rudimentary wooden huts in which craftsmen and labourers could work sheltered from the elements. You can see a reconstruction of one of these huts just west of the castle beyond the moat. Archaeologists unearthed the remains of the medieval building workshop on a site just south of the stone building. The reconstructed hut is used in our educational activities to demonstrate trades such as bricklaying, smithery and wattle and daub.
