Trebuchet Siege Engines At Castelnaud-La-Chapelle Castle

Amazing to find 4 trebuchet siege weapons together at a medieval castle! Located in a commanding position high up on the rocky outcrop where the castle was built. Stand next to one of these siege engines and the view is incredible looking down to the river and valley way below.

The size and solid structure of these replica 'war engines' is surprising and gives us an idea of the fear that must have gripped people inside a medieval castle during a siege. We filmed one of these siege engines close-up here    • Trebuchet - Amazing Medieval Weapon C...  


The bombardment of castle walls with the heavy missiles that these medieval weapons launched was one of the most effective ways of capturing a castle in medieval times. To see the type of stone missiles that were used go to our video here    • Stone Missiles For Medieval Trebuchet
