Stone Castle with an Open Gateway
A medieval castle combined a secure fortress with a royal residence, surrounded by heavy stone walls and lookout towers. A wide entrance gateway provided access for horses, carriages, and residents entering the courtyard.
Purpose of Castle Gateways
The main entrance was the most heavily guarded part of any castle, often featuring a heavy wooden portcullis that could drop in seconds. An open gate signaled times of peace and allowed commerce and visitors into the inner grounds.
