Obviously there are no genuine medieval villages today, but there are a very few re-created medieval villages. One of these, at Cosmeston in South Wales, is apparently under threat of closure - a very great shame.

Another excellent reconstructed medieval village is at Museumsdorf Dueppel, near Berlin in Germany. This has a fascinating history: the site was only discovered at the end of World War 2, after a German 88mm anti-aircraft battery position had been bombed by allied planes. The bombing uncovered the foundations of wooden buildings, leading to the discovery of an entire medieval village, complete with barns, houses, storage pits and a surrounding wooden palisade. The German government later decided to reconstruct the entire village, using the archaeological evidence to replace all the timbers exactly as they had been situated originally.

At Archeon in Holland, buildings from the prehistoric era, through the Roman and Medieval periods have been reconstructed on one site and these include various medieval houses.
