Protecting Castle Supplies by Mending Grain Bags

Storing harvest grains safely required constant attention to prevent loss from spills or pests. Inside the castle storage area, a knight uses heavy thread kept in a basket to stitch up a large burlap grain bag.

Grain Storage in Medieval Castles

Granaries were heavily fortified rooms designed to keep wheat, barley, and rye dry and safe during long winters or military sieges. Coarse woven burlap sacks allowed air circulation while holding bulk harvests secure until milling time.
