Outside Castle Visit (Part 2: South Side)


1. The South Facade & Original Entrance

Facade of the donjon

At the base, almost at the moat level, a roughly filled up breach attracts attention. In that place was the original castle entrance with its portcullis.

2. Architectural Details & Heraldry

The Blazon of Scotland

Sculpted directly near the window frame, this coat of arms features the Blazon of Scotland, testifying to the strong historical connections between the owners of Cherveux and Scottish heritage.
