Care and Maintenance of the Castle Courtyard Bell
Tower and courtyard bells served as the primary signaling system across castle grounds, ringing to mark daily hours or announce important gatherings. Keeping heavy metal bells free of tarnish and grime preserved their bright tone and protected the bronze alloy from environmental corrosion.
The Craft of Medieval Bell Casting
Giant bells were cast by pouring molten bronze—a mixture of copper and tin—into precise clay molds. Once cooled, the metal surface required careful polishing to remove rough spots and ensure a clear tone when struck by a clapper.
