Author Topic:   Interior of castles homefires86 Member posted 01-12-2002 04:08 AM             Does anyone know where to find pictures of the interior of castles. I am interested in grand stair ways and bedrooms. I can remember what it looks like, but do not remember the name Erik Schmidt Senior Member posted 01-12-2002 06:38 AM             Grand stairways? Sounds to me like a palace, not a castle, so it unlikely we can help. Sorry Erik homefires86 Member posted 01-12-2002 01:10 PM             What I meant was stairways leading to the upper floors. Not the smaller ones. Gordon unregistered posted 01-12-2002 01:43 PM            There are two pics of Turnpike stair in the Photo Archive in the Miscellaneous category. Erik Schmidt Senior Member posted 01-13-2002 01:48 AM             Did you check out the pics? Where they what you were thinking of? Stairs in castles were small due to the lack of space and the unwillingness to compromise the strength of a structure by trying to accommodate a large staircase. In many smaller keeps and typically in towers, access to the upper levels was often simply by a ladder.
