The castle still stands, as it did a thousand years ago.
It has seen all the faces of war, and the evolution of human weapons from swords and bows to tanks and guns.
Yet, it chose never to intervene with its armies, remaining hidden from the greedy eyes of humans; which is why it still remains standing…

Great tale, great picture. By the way, the Castle in the picture is Bodiam Castle in Sussex, England. I went there as a child and I’ve loved castles ever since. 🙂

Fun fact I learnt about a castle I’d visited in France – most of them used to have turrets – the conical structures on top of a tower (think Disney). These were torn down to make space for the canons and guns and that’s why you don’t have many castles (if any) that still have turrets.

Turrets did play an important role in medieval warfare! 🙂
