# Living in a medieval village in Québec > Living the Middle Ages every day? Castel Roc envisions an inhabited medieval village in Mauricie, Québec: the houses, crossing the threshold, your questions. Living here Castel Roc envisions an inhabited medieval village in Mauricie, Québec: people could live there all year round or part-time, work in a shop or a workshop, and find the pace of another time every day. The project is in development; the village shown on this site is a fictional demo. ## Living the Middle Ages, every day For lovers of the Middle Ages, it would no longer be a weekend festival, but everyday life among stone, oak and linen: neighbours you know, shared tasks, a place in a living village. Days would be shaped by handwork, the market, shared meals and evenings by the fire. When everything speeds up, you would find a human pace again, simple gestures and conversations without screens. [Daily life](https://castelroc.com/en/daily-life) ## The houses of the demo village In the 3D model, tall, narrow houses stand shoulder to shoulder around the market square and along the Grand-Rue, their upper floors jutting out over the cobblestones. More homes sit above the shops. Every house, shop or workshop in the demo village can be chosen and customized in 3D: furniture, finishes and sign. Buildings and floor areas are illustrative. - 21 houses, from 58 m² to 193 m² - 27 homes above the shops - Primary or secondary residence [See the houses on the map](https://castelroc.com/en/village?intention=habiter) [Visit the show home](https://castelroc.com/en/show-home) ## Crossing the threshold You leave your century in the parking lot: the car stays on the far side of the forest, phones and screens in the Threshold House cloakroom. The wardrobe lends period clothing, in linen and wool, unless you bring your own. Then you walk in: a trail crosses the forest, then the fields, and goes over the stream to the village gate. Past the gate, public life goes on with no visible technology. Inside private homes, the place of technology is still to be defined with future residents: no rule has been set to date. [Take the walking tour from the bridge](https://castelroc.com/en/tour) ## Working on site The project envisions shops on the square and in the streets, craft workshops on the rue des Artisans, a tavern and an inn to bring to life; farms, a mill and the woodcutters’ hut to take over; towers for care, crafts and activities. [The village trades](https://castelroc.com/en/trades) ## A countryside around the village Beyond the walls, a sheepfold, a dairy farm and a great barn, with their pastures; fields of wheat, barley and oats, vegetables and hay meadows in long strips, and a windmill; at the edge of the woods, the woodcutters’ hut and the charcoal burner’s mound.

Castel Roc is a project for an inhabited medieval village, in development, in Mauricie, Québec. The village shown on this site, with its 3D map, walking tour and show interiors, is a fictional demo. ### Can I visit Castel Roc? Not on site: no building is confirmed, under construction or delivered to date. Online, yes: the 3D map of the demo village, the walking tour, six show interiors and a role-playing game can be visited in your browser. ### Where would the village be? In Mauricie, Québec. No land is confirmed to date. ### Can I already buy or rent a house? No. No land, schedule, financing, sale price, rent or reservation is confirmed. The “for sale” and “for rent” labels and the indicative rents shown on the site are illustrative: they are not a firm offer of sale, rental or investment. ### Could I live there all year round? That is what the project envisions: a primary or secondary residence, in houses of various sizes or in the homes above the shops. ### Is it a medieval festival? No: the project envisions a village where people would live every day among stone, oak and linen, not just for the length of a festival. On the Fairground, near the parking lot, it also envisions markets, shows and large gatherings. ### Will I have to give up my phone? Past the village gate, public life goes on with no visible technology: phones and screens stay in the Threshold House cloakroom. Inside private homes, the place of technology is still to be defined with future residents; no rule has been set to date. ### Could I work there? That is how the project sees it: shops and craft workshops, a tavern and an inn, farms, a mill, the woodcutters’ hut, and towers for care, crafts and activities. ### Could I just stay for a while? The project also envisions visitors: a day visit, with clothing provided or your own, a few nights at the Castel Inn, or a short-term rental above a shop. ### How do I express my interest? Through the “Express my interest” page, or by email at castelroc@probablink.com. It is simply getting in touch, with no payment or reservation. ## What if your place were here?
