The Company of Saynt George is a living-history association. For almost twenty years we have been bringing to life a small artillery company dating back to the period of Charles the Bold (1467-1477). These pages contain information about our group including many pictures of previous events, numerous research articles and how to get involved. Furthermore, you can access the public mailing list.

Any comments and feedback is greatly appreciated. Please contact us via contact@companie-of-st-george.ch.
