Ok, to be fair, my last post didn’t really give you a good idea of the actual inside of the rooms inside Loevestein Castle.

Here’s a proper look inside…

This is the roof space at the very top… the massive winch used to be used to haul furniture , beams for repairs etc though a series of trapdoors that are aligned in the floors below it (sealed closed now for safety reasons)

There was apparently some time available for children’s fun and games… this is a a copy of a medieval game of skittles, my own children delight in having a go and and I even manage to get a photo of the ball swinging by…
