Burg Hohenstein is a base founded by DakkaDok on the 24th of January 2019. It is a castle built on top of a mountain.

The primary goal of Burg Hohenstein is to be as historically accurate as possible, using many defensive features common in real medieval castles.

Walls

All outward facing walls are at least three blocks thick and eight blocks tall, with cut bricks on the outside and a variety of smaller stones filling the center. Walls also have crenellations and machicolations as described below.

Machicolations

These vertical gaps in the floor of the battlements allow defenders to hit attackers who get close to the walls with arrows and stones.

The merlons (raised parts of the battlements on top of walls) are tall enough for a standing person to take cover behind.
