The Castle's entrance
 
Access to the castle was made difficult by the steep pathway leading to it. A draw-bridge allowed entrance to  announced visitors and kept out those undesired. The security of the prisoners depended on continual patrols within the castle and the look-out towers assured the security for the outside.
