Life Inside Medieval Castle Courtyards

Castle courtyards served as the central hub of daily life in medieval fortresses, connecting living quarters, stables, and workshops.

Heavy wooden chests were essential for storing armor maintenance tools, textiles, and valuable goods safely away from damp stone cellars.
