Question

Describe a medieval castle

Answer 1

well it has open halls and 20 foot ceilings, with multiple room fireplaces and narrow openings on the exterior of the castle. Have a dinning hall that seats one hundred with rooms enough for many of the dinner guests to remain over- night. Secret passages should honeycomb the inside areas of the castle with a trophy room containing hunting conquests stuffed or mounted on walls with two sets of life-size suits of armor dating from the 1500s. Have the kitchen area in a separate building with spits big enough to roast a half of a beef on each spit and ovens made in Italy to make breads and pastries on a daily basis. Surrounding the castle would be a moat with one giant drawbridge. For the wall coverings there should be cloth tapestries 15x20 depicting scenes from other lands. Have the castle built at an angle to the prevailing winds so that a natural type of air-conditioning cools the castle in the summer.
