Crossing the Palace Moat to the Leaf-Roofed Castle
This setting displays a princess crossing a stone bridge over a peaceful moat surrounding the royal residence. In the background stands a palace whose roofs are designed in the distinctive shape of broad leaves.
The Purpose and Function of Palace Moats
Moats were deep, wide ditches filled with water that surrounded medieval castles and palaces to prevent direct ground attacks. Water was redirected from nearby rivers or natural springs to maintain a steady water level around the castle perimeter. In addition to defense, moats provided a stable water reservoir for the palace grounds and created a serene reflection of the castle architecture.
