Harlech Castle Floor Plan (4 of 4)
This floor plan is based closely on Harlech castle—please refer to the following notes.
Notes on Historical Accuracy
- There is some confusion as to the number of gates and portcullises that guard the entrance. Some sources say three portcullises and others say two. I decided to put three portcullises and four wooden gates. Two of the more sturdy gates can be reinforced with great oak drawbars.
- I am not sure that there ever was a stable in Harlech. I put one here simply because I thought it would look nice.
- The garderobe pit at the corner where Prison tower joins the north wall has been omitted.
- The “Wash Basin” was actually the site of an oven.
- Prison Tower is sometimes called Debtor’s Tower and the stairs here do not match the stairs of the real-life Prison Tower in design.
