- fatbird 6y agoActually, castles almost always had back doors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postern https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postern
- solinent 6y agoAlmost always? Source for that? Very interesting, I guess during a siege there's a tradeoff there. If your postern is on the other side of a mountain range, then definitely it's not so bad.
