This image gallery showcases several digital reconstructions of medieval castles, keeps and fortifications built throughout the Middle Ages. These defensive structures were built to ward off invaders and act as centres of government. Castles were a monument to the power of medieval rulers, and though many have fallen into disrepair, we can catch a glimpse of what they would have looked like in their prime through digital restoration.
