Castle Drawbridge Crossing

Heavy stone slabs form a broad bridge that connects castle grounds with outer entryways. Gate towers rise near the end of the crossing while a royal gown with a trailing fabric skirt spans across the stone path.

Medieval Castle Bridges

Stone bridges leading to castle gates often replaced original wooden drawbridges to provide permanent entry over protective moats. These massive structures were anchored into heavy bedrock to support heavy carriages and royal processions entering the fortress. Tall gate towers flanked the bridge ends to monitor everyone who approached the main gates.

Real-World Colors of Medieval Bridges

  • Castle stone slabs: granite gray
  • Gate tower masonry: weathered gray and tan
  • Royal gown fabric: deep velvet red or purple
  • Bridge mortar lines: off-white or cream
