Snowman Standing in a Castle Courtyard

Historic fortress grounds gain a whimsical element when winter brings snow to the open courtyard. A large snowman holding a traditional broom stands surrounded by ancient stone castle walls and an imposing medieval tower.

History of Medieval Castles in Winter

Medieval castles were built with stone walls several feet thick to withstand weather and military sieges. Courtyards served as central meeting areas for daily activities, livestock care, and troop assemblies. Heavy snowfall across courtyard paving stones often turned these fortresses into quiet winter landscapes.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Medieval Castles

Why were castle courtyards built inside high walls?
Courtyards provided a safe inner area protected from external wind and intruders. They allowed castle residents to conduct daily work while surrounded by defensive outer walls.
How did castle residents manage heavy snow in the past?
Workers swept snow from walkways and courtyards using large straw brooms and wooden shovels. Clearing paths was vital for movement between living quarters and defensive towers.
Why are castle towers usually round or square?
Square towers were simple to build, while round towers offered superior defense because they had no sharp corners vulnerable to siege weapons. Round towers also allowed guardians a wider view of the surrounding lands.
