Zvezda 1/72 Medieval Stone Fortress # 8510

Medieval stone castles were fortified structures built primarily during the Middle Ages in Europe, serving as both defensive strongholds and residences for nobility.

Constructed from durable stone, these castles featured thick walls, towers, battlements, and often a surrounding moat to protect against sieges and attacks.

The central part of the castle, known as the keep, housed the lord and his family, providing a last line of defense.

Stone castles replaced earlier wooden motte-and-bailey designs, offering greater protection and permanence.

They played a crucial role in medieval warfare, governance, and society, symbolizing the power and prestige of their owners.
