Castle Activity





The boys recently attended a work-shop at Eppstein Castle on how and what people wrote in the days of Knight Eppo, the legendary founder of the castle. Not only did the workshop participants get to write royal warrants and deeds with quill pens, but they made seals impressed in beeswax, similar to those which were attached to documents in the Middle Ages.

The castle offers a number of
activities for adults and children alike throughout the year. You can find their list of events on Eppstein's website: www.eppstein.de. This workshop was entitled "Gänsekiel und Königssiegel" and was 6 euros a child for the two-hour workshop. To sign up for the next one, call 06198 305 101.
