Abstract

The thick walls of medieval castles could hold various accessory spaces without being weakened. These included staircases, lavatories, cupboards, niches and the like. The basic area was left untouched, and suitable places for the accessory spaces were found in the ground plan. This arrangement was a step forward in the nobility's quality of everyday life.
