An interesting look at a castle floor plan

January 8th, 2007

I have written an article and analysis of castle floor plans that show some of the more important points of the development of castles over the centuries.

I use the floor plan of Castle Chepstow in Great Britain as an example. The drawing is color coded to show some of the important points. Castles were not usually rectangular buldings with a round tower at each corner. There were many factors that went into the building of a castle and there were many changes that they underwent over the centuries of their hey day.
