Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The castle entrance on the town side has an effective defence system with two portcullises, a massive door and a machicolation. The portcullises were operated from control rooms on different floors, with no communication between them, to guard against possible treachery by soldiers.
The first portcullis passed through an opening in the floor which also served as a machicolation through which projectiles might be dropped upon attackers. The second portcullis was operated from the lower level. The entrance was also defended by two projecting towers with loopholes suitable for firing of bows and crossbows. A portcullis is a latticed grille made of wood, metal or a combination of the two. A machicolation is a floor opening between the supporting corbels of a battlement, through which stones, or other objects, could be dropped on attackers. |
