A Dragon Gathering Water at the Castle Well

Near the central courtyard of a medieval fortress, a dragon rests against the stone rim of a water well. Situated alongside a bucket, the creature rests near the traditional stone structure built deep into the castle courtyard floor.

Importance of Water Wells in Medieval Castles

A secure water well was a critical feature of any medieval castle, ensuring a reliable supply of clean drinking water during long sieges. Constructed deep into underground aquifers, these wells were fortified within inner courtyards so defenders never lost access to water.
