| Chateaux Gaillard has a number of very interesting
features which are worthy of mention.. The keep is very unusual in being basically cylindrical to outward
attackers)as shown in the picture) but with 2 square faces fronting onto
the inner bailey a design which i believe is unique to Gaillard. The curtain wall of the inner bailey is also very unusual. It has a
'wobbled' design which allowed a defender on the wall a line of fire
along the wall it self while remaining protected thus doing away with
the need for projecting towers. The castle was built by Richard I and cost £8,000...Alot of money in
1196!!!.... |
