Castles

It is called a Great Hall.

An oubliette is a dungeon cell accessible only through a trap door in the ceiling. The word is from the French verb oublier "to forget."

There are many more than five castles in France. Castles in France include Sully Castle, Puymartin Castle, and Saumur Castle. Vincennes Castle and La Roche Guyon Castle are two other castles that are found in France.

I living in Caerphilly visit, because I really find it intresting to think that this was actually there 100 years ago, and also to find out a bit about the history of the castle that can be very intresting. There is a story and a myth about a ghost spirt known as the green lady. The story says that gilburt decler who was a Norman married a nother french women who evenchly went back to France and then dies of a broken heart because her loved one was killed by gilburt declar. The myth does sound a bit egsagerated but gilburt declar was real. The castle is also the second biggest in great Britain, and is the biggest of it's kind as well.

There were several type of materials that wee used to construct Neuschwanstein Castle. The entire foundation was made from cement. The walls of the castle were built using brick and limestone.

It allows for quick building. It takes a long time to build a stone castle. In those pre-gunpowder days, wood was fairly resistant to most forms of attack. All you needed was a good watchguard and a supply of water in case the eneny tried to burn the place down. Otherwise they had to assault the place with ladders and battering rams.

Hehe, he's just kiddin'.

You can measure it yourself using, e.g. Google Earth by using the measure tool.

It should be no more than 0,7 x 0,3 mile.

A castle that has defense and can be protected from attack.

150 feet because there tall, though.

I dont know im asking you!!!!

When moats were in style, during times when your neighbors were far off and liable to want your land, some castles used a moat as a natural defence, when no other form of natural terrain advantage was at hand.

Moats were generally used as a deterrent, since sappers could dig under and drain them, or swimmers could cross and then set up ladders or other means to get across the wall, or even break down the gate to let the calvary in to wreak havoc.

So, in short; moats were used by digging a trench and allowing water; especially sewage water; to accumulate in it. Depending on the tastes of the Baron or other Lord who had the castle built, the moat could also be filled with sharpened stakes before being filled, for any people who tried to swim across or simply fell in. The common idea of moats being filled with alligators or other such beasties is mostly myth; it would be rather difficult to _MAKE_ voracious man-eating animals inhabit the moat, especially since they'd be a threat to the inhabitants.

Catapults were either weighted or tension devices that could throw (toss) a heavy projectile into or over the castle walls. Large rocks were used to damage castle walls, and burning hay bales or similar objects could be tossed into the center portion to ignite buildings and straw-covered ground. Where available, containers of flammable pitch or oil could similarly be used, but with the threat that they could set fire to the catapult itself.

484,000 square feet, it takes up 13 acres and there is 13,000 rooms

The motte and bailey castles would have rotted within a few years of them being built. The stone castles however are still existing today. These stone castles that are still here today are open to tourists and visitors.

If you think about it, castles took a lot of time (years), effort and money to build, so there would have to be a good reason to place them 'correctly'. (I'm assuming you're not referring to the quick, simple motte and bailey castles which were made of wood and built quickly (although often they were the where the later stone castle was built).

A castle existed for two main reasons.

1. At first, it needed to control the surrounding countryside. Therefore, it housed a small army (or was able to feed and water one). So it was often sited on a hill, by a river, or with easy access to a main highway.

2. It was for protection of the lord (and his family) in areas where other, powerful forces could attack. The peasantry had few weapons and were no real threat. But tribes living over the border (Scots!?) could be a threat, hence the need for protection or to act as a base for counter-raids.

A third reason developed out of the first two. As things became quieter, so the castle became an economic center. A town grew up around it and it grew and grew.

Of course, there is also the fact that a sufficiently rich lord could build a castle simply to show how powerful and wonderful he was, but that is really the same as reason 1: the need for control.

It's Bodiam not Bodium and it's a stone keep.

Castles in Europe were made out of many different materials depending on what type of castle it is. For example, Motte and Bailey Castles would have been built out of wood and Stone Castles would (and still are) made out of stone because it is stronger and more sturdy.

They could be useful as places to live, tourist destinations, government buildings, museums, haunted houses, hotels, and tons of other uses... pretty much anything you can use a building for.

There are different reasons as to why castles became palatial. One main reason is because castles were no longer needed for defense, therefore were turned into palatial castles where people were free to visit and stay in.

Yes. There are many castles in Ireland, all around the country. Some are derelict and some are in very condition with people living in them or being used for other purposes, like as tourist attractions or hotels. Some of the more well known ones include Blarney Castle, Bunratty Castle, Dublin Castle and Kilkenny Castle.

Wales has the most castles per square miles, in the world.

The difference is tha a castle is a fortified buliding ir serios of bulidings desined to withstand enemy attacks and sieges. And a palace is a lesure buliding, decined to maximize the comfort of its inabitants, and impress the vistors.
