Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why were medieval towers built out of heavy stone blocks?
Stone blocks provided durability, fire resistance, and structural strength, ensuring the tower could endure severe storms and remain standing for centuries.
How long was Rapunzel's hair in traditional fairytale descriptions?
Classic storybook accounts describe her hair as being twenty yards long, allowing it to reach from the top tower window all the way down to the ground.
Why did medieval tower windows often feature arched tops?
Arched window openings distributed the heavy weight of stone walls above them outward into side columns, preventing wall collapses over large window spaces.
