Dark ages castle:Minecraft edition

By Cole Morgan

Drawbridge

The drawbridge was an important aspect of a dark ages castle. In addition to being the only way across the moat. It could be raised when the castle was under siege, making it extremely hard to enter the castle.

Gate

The gate is another essential part of a castles defenses. When a castle fell under siege, the gate would come crashing down. And if you were unfortunate enough to be standing under it, you were about to have a bad day.

Arrow Slits

The arrow slit is an extremely effective defense. The way it is shaped makes it easy to shoot out but near impossible to return fire. In real life they are wide on the inside, and extremely skinny on the outside.

Wall

The wall is the largest, and most iconic, defense of a castle from the thirteenth century. They were very tall and were usually made of stone,concrete,ect. They also had a tower at each corner and sometimes there were smaller towers on each side of the gate.

Moat

The castle moat was a pool of water that surrounded the castle and came up to the wall. And no, there were no alligators.

Inner Bailey

The inner bailey is the area of the castle inside the walls. This is where the residents of the castle reside and where all the buildings are.

Keep

This is the castle keep. The king and queen reside here along with their servants.

Chapel

This is the chapel. The people who live in the castle came here to do worship.

Training

Although it’s more or less realistic, I put a small military training facility in the castle. On the top right, I am shooting range with my crossbow. On the bottom right, you can see me hitting a dummy with my warhammer.

Etcetera

Me shooting a cannon mounted on the wall (again, unrealistic)

The horse stalls for the King and queen.
