Places like these can be very old carrying lots of history with them. The difference in architecture is great to see and I believe that each place tells it own story.

The staircase is one of my favourite objects in an abandoned place.
I’m not exactly sure why that is though. I believe I’m just intrigued by the shape of them.
It’s interesting to look at them from the bottom all the way up, and the other way around.
You can see that someone has actually thought this properly through.
Some of these have the shape of an eye, others are made out of pure concrete and others are very detailed carved into wood by a true craftsman with the tiniest details.
The staircase is such an important part of a building connecting floors with each other, often in the center of the building. You can barely miss it and have to use it." - Roman Robroek

This was done in order to, in the case of the siege of the castle, tower defense had the advantage during the melee, as the most powerful right-hander can be applied only right that was not available to the attacker. In addition, if an attacker will use to protect the shield, then he will not be able to use the weapon.



5. With the development of materials and processing methods for the development of new changes the appearance and finish of stairs.
