Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Buitenwerken van middeleeuwse vestingwerken, zoals poorttorens, maar vaker een vooruitgeschoven post die wordt gebruikt om de toegang tot een poort te versterken. |
German ..... Außenwerk in mittelalterlichen Befestigungsanlagen, wie zum Beispiel Tortürme, aber in der Weiterentwicklung zunehmend als Flankierung von Toreingängen verwendet. |
