It makes a lot of sense to have a fireplace, or at least a brazier in the winch room. Not only would it help keep whatever servants were manning it warm and ready to act when the weather gets chill, it also gives them a readily available source of heat and/or ignition to make whatever they were dropping down the murder hole more dangerous.

Yep. Hot oil wasn't so much a thing. But hot coals from a wood fire? Oh yeah. Anybody who is a target shooter has gotten a piece of hot brass down a shirt collar, and that is VERY distracting. And that doesn't burn like a wooden coal would. Although i have received a 2nd degree burn from hot brass.

Also the added security of the castle means that at night almost every room that wasn't used for storage would be used as a sleeping space, at least for the garrison and their families. In times of crisis many people from the vicinity would flock to the place to seek shelter and protection.

Owe I have been waiting eagerly for this episode. I live in South Wales and have past Castell Coch practically everyday all my life. Only visited a handful of times 🙈. When ever I have been traveling out of beautiful Wales, when I see Castell Coch when I return, I know I'm home. Once as a young lad walking up the Garth Mountain opposite in the fog. When we reached the top, we were above the clouds and all that could be see were the tips of Castell Coch. It was an amazing sight, unfortunately before the time of camera phones, but the image has always stayed with me.

@@taylorfusher2997 Well, although many of the castles have general features, not all castles do not have drawbridge, reason being they might not have to, they sometimes use the natural height of their motte, as per the early motte-and-bailey castles. Some castle build on cliffs don't have a drawbridge since they use the terrain to their advantage, and some castles in city walls don't need it because it is already protected.

I visited Castell Coch last summer and was totally blown away by all the detail inside! It's great to see a lot of it again. There was so much written (and audio guide) info inside the castle which gives a lot more context for various details, so it's unfortunate that we don't get to see any of that in this video. You mentioned the small chapel in the roof space of the tower on the left, and that it likely wasn't very accurate. If I remember correctly, the chapel in the original reconstruction was a wooden extension to that tower, resting on top of the curved courtyard walkway, but this has not stood the test of time. You can still see some of the stones that would have been used to support the wooden chapel sticking out of the tower! In fact, the stained glass windows displayed in the current "chapel" were taken from the original chapel after it was demolished.

I imagine a reason the castles lack authenticity in Hollywood originally was due to technical/budgetary constraints. In the black and white days, all the decoration and patterns would wreak havok with the image and convincingly reproducing complex settings like that would have cost an arm and a leg. The rather plain sets would then embed themselves in the minds of everyone to the point that when tech and budgets caught up, no one really noticed the inaccuracies.

I think it’s not simply about buget, it’s more about the nowadays attitude. When you see 1950/60 films, the in their bright colors are more accurate than even one film at the moment. F you listen to series you often hear the phrase- it should become darker to get better… not in literal meaning but the coloring reflects this thinking.
@ReddwarfIV
@ReddwarfIV 8 месяцев назад
I think the most likely reason I'd that the filmmakers simply aren't aware that castles looked nicer inside than they do now. All they will have seen is ruins, or at least structures that haven't been lived in for centuries. It takes a leap of logic to realise that since a castle is also a residence, the people residing there would want it to be comfortable.

I have an explanation for the fireplace in the Winch Room. Now, I am NOT an expert by any means. But with everything I know about castles, and Current day Militaries the winch room would most likely be a permanent duty station. There would probably be at least one guard in that room at all times in case they had to lower the portcullis. Now I could easily see one guard, maybe four, standing ready at the gate and checking those who enter. They would only be there for a few hours at a time. The guards in the Winch Room and at the gate would probably swap every now and then to give each other a break. So a fireplace makes sense because if it was a permanent post then they would eat there as well. Even in times of piece a smart lord would want his gate and Winch room guarded. It would also be a place of congregation for any guards patrolling the walls.

On a school trip to Castell Coch we were told that the fireplace in the winch room was for boiling the stuff that they would tip down the murder hole (so not for comfort). We were also told that it would often be urine etc (it must have stunk when boiling it up) because oil was expensive. I hope you also went to Cardiff Castle, just down the road, another reconstruction of an old castle, where the interiors are along the same lines (if not better?)

Wouldn't do to have your guards freeze to death in the winter. Many castles had fireplaces in simple guard towers. Dumping boiling things onto enemies didn't occur very often. It is a trope that continues to be repeated in history books, such as people not bathing, even though not true.

These castles are awesome. I had the chance to work in a castle owned by the von Berlichingen family. The castle had a lot of old furniture in it, for example an approx. 800 year old oak cabinet (gigantic, about 5 meters tall and 6 wide if my memory serves me right.) It was like breathing historic air. From the ages old chimney system down to the cooling-basement, which was haunting when moving through at night and no permission to use the big lights in it. That plus the persona of the original Götz von Berlichingen made it awesome to work in.

I love your dedication and excitement to your passion for all things medieval. Is there any notable shell keeps that would be a must see in your mind?

Hey Shad, if you see this, Hampton Court palace has tapestries and is a centre of tapestry needle work for the country/restoration

The Menthon-Saint-Bernard Castle in France has the carpet-tapestry you mention. I visited it last year, there are a few gigantic carpets it's impressive !

Very cool castle. Love seeing the medieval style interior. Shad's pronunciation of "coch" is pretty good IMO.

"I don't want to get in the way of the other people visiting the castle." You're a champ, Shad.
