What was the castles enviroment like?

    Many castles were built on high ground so people could see if intruders were coming better. That's a good idea. Also it could help for defense. Castles also have moats to protect them. The castles weakest point was the gate

    At night the gate was completely closed. When you go through the gates you enter the outer bailey. There were rooms inside for knights, horses, and other stuff. The hoses must have been happy. Also it may have been the site that held engines.

  2. It was a good idea for them to build the castles on hills for protection. What does " it was the site that held the engines" mean?? I got confused there.

  3. How was the gate the weakest spot? I agree that it was good for castles to be on a hill.
