Castle model

Significance and Function 
The castle model is a spatial, three-dimensional reconstruction of the historical fortress complex. Its primary purpose is to provide visitors with a clear visualization of the castle's original appearance, scale, and integration into the landscape—especially in cases where the structure has been altered over time or survives only in ruins. The model scales down complex architectural elements and defensive systems into an easily understandable format.


Architectural Characteristics and Details
 
The model accurately depicts the main components of the castle: the defensive curtain walls, residential quarters, fortification towers, and gatehouses. The materials and color tones used in the model are carefully selected to closely mimic the original building materials, such as fieldstones, dolomite, or brick. It also illustrates the historical terrain, natural barriers, or moats that once served to protect the fortress.
