Castle Warden and Lantern
A castle caretaker holds a lighting device used for evening rounds around fortress grounds. Wardens maintained order and performed guard duties, relying on handheld light sources when moving across darker areas of the castle compound.
Historical Facts About Medieval Lanterns
Before electric lighting, lanterns were crafted from metal frames with translucent horn panels or glass panes to protect candle flames from wind drafts. Night wardens performed regular guard rounds to prevent accidental fires, which posed a severe hazard to wooden interior structures.
