The Moat
The moat is filled in at the front, we think this was partially due to the practice during the French revolution of knocking the tower down in to the moat and therefor breaching two defences at once, also over the years this as probably spread across the front to increase garden space, the original bridge is there at the front, with the two pillars that used to support the draw bridge, also if you look from the side you can see where the missing section of the bridge as been filled in. We intend to put this all back to original eventually, but the castle comes first.
There is also a smaller bridge that as been added to the back of the castle, this was of course added much later when hostilities had ceased.
