I don't have the book from which I took these photos anymore. I do remember that it was 14xx, probably after 1450.

At least that explains the differences between the drawing and the actual (modern) castle.

I am pretty sure it was this book: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

I do remember that the illustration was from 14xx, probably after 1450.
