Windows on 13th - 15th Century Burgs in Continental Croatia
Zorislav Horvat
Abstract
Windows were an essential feature of medieval architecture on 13th-15th century burgs in continental Croatia in order to light the interior. The great halls and keeps of castles, i.e. the representative areas, had the largest and finest windows. Their size and design depended on when they were made, the wealth of the investor, the skill of the craftsmen, and the purpose of the room. In the 15th century large windows with stone mullions developed as an important part of the nobility's standard of living.
