DE castle - Late Romanesque architecture - gate - jambs - prismatic tower
SN 12121487
AB In 2020, the building history research of the Buchlov Castle was completed and uncovered some new information about its development. The presented article focuses on the earliest structures which were probably constructed around the mid-13th century. In the first place, they are two buildings in the southeast part of the castle core: a gate with a ground floor passage and an adjacent building with a rectangular floor plan. Both buildings retain Late Romanesque architectural elements in the original position. The article further deals with two prismatic towers that are related to the castle's earliest building stage as well. The western tower is better preserved with remains of the original vertical medieval division. The eastern tower was substantially rebuilt during the Late Gothic times. Its ground plan formation differs from the western tower, and it is possibly of an earlier origin.
