The medieval motte hill near Horn in ARGO – Experience the past anew
Experience the structure digitally reconstructed at the authentic site on your smartphone or tablet with the ARGO app!
The Horn "motte" was a simple fortification from the Middle Ages, built quickly at that time. It is an earthen mound surrounded by a water ditch, which probably had a wooden tower in the middle.
Today, only the earthen mound can be recognized.
