In 1992, the castle of Tiffauges was the first site in the world to present to&& the public live firing demonstrations with reconstituted medieval war machines, as part of a show on the art of war.
Today, young and old alike can try their hand at throwing projectiles at these unique and impressive machines.16 war machines in action.
Tiffauges castle has about fifteen pieces in its conservatory of war machines that are put to the test during the performances.
Dealing with defence, attack or construction, this conservatory constitutes today the largest collection of working medieval re-enactment objects in Europe.
