Hey,
I ahve got an assignment on designing a castle and labelling all the important features! Do you know any features that are important that were used many years ago or any websites??? that may be able to help us! We cant have any "space age "features it all has to be like it was many years ago... no futuristic features...
can you help??
Traditional designs of Castles should include all of these features.
(I think you are going to be busy)
wicket
allure
turret
arch
rampart
aumbry
postern gate
bailey
paraphet
barbican
parados
battlement
outer ward
buttery
outer curtain
buttress
murder holes
crosswall
moat
donjon or keep
Hall
dormer
great chamber
drawbridge
gate house
dungeon
garderobe
gallery
Here is a site (Castle Builder)....it waffles on a bit, but should prove helpful.

Good Luck.
Well, it depends on, I think, to what country and period you are referring.
Build a Medieval Castle
Development of the English Castle
French Castles (plus a couple more countries)
Thanx Lord.... I got 80% ....which is pretty good because i would never consider myself a great historian....i added in my assignment most things you said but conisdering i am in year 8 i left out a few..... thanks alot!
