A crenel is an opening or notch in the parapet of a stone keep castle, typically part of a battlement. These notches allow defenders to shoot arrows or launch projectiles at attackers while providing cover. The spaces between crenels are known as merlons, which are the solid portions that offer protection. Crenels were an essential feature for fortification and defense in medieval architecture.
