Castles, palaces and fortresses enjoy unbroken popularity, as they allow a direct insight into the past by making history, culture and everyday life tangible. As a worthwhile destination, they not only open their doors to visitors, but also offer those interested in history an opportunity for further occupation and research. With over 300 entries the reference book familiarizes readers with technical terms used in the construction of castles, palaces and fortresses. Types of buildings, components and building elements are explained. The explanation of terms is followed by a brief description of the historical development with the mention of selected examples. An introductory essay gives an overview of the historical development of castles, palaces and fortresses.
This digital new edition in dynamic HTML format is based on the print edition published by Reclam in 2004 and offers interactive navigation, linked cross-references and links to satellite views of the respective castle.
