Great pics! I would love to go to a castle one day. They are amazing.

I loved all these pictures. Awesome looking scenes. Could you tell me
what the small openings in the walls are for? Like the ones in this picture.
(The openings next to the gate)

Thanks for your comments everyone.

lizbud, I was wondering about the openings myself. They look like arrow slits to me, but they wouldn't make much sense in that position. Maybe they were part of the sanitation system.

BTW, I uploaded another picture today, showing the north tower:

At first I thought they looked like mail slots. Maybe for delivering
messages without opening the gate ? anyhow, I would love to visit old
castles someday.

Won't make much sense to place mail slots there, because on the other side of the wall, there's some kind of porch. You can see it in the new picture I posted. The wall with the openings is the one with windows, right from the tower.
