The Cliffs of Moher

[Rafal]

There was absolutely a castle standing tall there in the 1400s. Unfortunately no photos.

Sure.
Still the current castle has tower from the 16th century and merlons from the 19th century.
I would say we have no idea how it looked in the 1400s so comparing current castle to VM doesn't make sense.

Today, during castle reconstructions, people usually try to establish how something looked in the past. But sometimes it is impossible and the reconstruction is a pure fantasy.

A castle in Poland before reconstruction:


And after reconstruction (it was very controversial because of lack of sources):


And in the 19th century they often didn't give a damn about research and did freestyle reconstructions so it would look cool.
