Below you can see the inner ward of the castle. It was separated from the outer ward by a 4.6m thick wall with arrow slits, created for quantum mechanic experiments - not really. The inner ward contained heated Royal Apartments.
In the unlikely event of an attack, the walls separating inner and outer ward created a bottleneck for the attackers.

"Beneath the church-yard tree."
