Have you always wanted to know how people lived in past centuries? South of Stuttgart you can experience this wonderfully. Two castles show how nobility and high aristocracy lived and how they developed. Just a few kilometers away, you can see how a monastery was built in the early Middle Ages with the means and tools of the 9th century. The builders and monks did hard labor. It was similar on the farms of Swabia. See how people of past centuries baked bread, where they slept and how they worked.
