Journey back to medieval times as the intricate process of building a castle unfolds. Discover the challenges faced by architects and builders as they bring a fortress and its surrounding town to life. With each brick laid, mysteries of the past are revealed, inviting you to explore the grandeur and intrigue of a bygone era. What secrets lie within the castle walls, and how do they shape the lives of those who dwell there? Dive into a world where history and architecture intertwine, and every stone tells a story.
From the publisher
“What David Macaulay can draw – churches, cities, pyramids – he does better than any pen-and-ink illustrator in the world. Castle once again goes through a brick-by-brick assembly, employing cross-hatches and thin black lines to evoke a medieval place and period.” – Time
