Here is a trebuchet, the largest siege engine in medieval europe!! It was used to throw large stones at castles walls up to 200 meters away.

I was so mad when this picture turned out blurry.  Here you see the trebuchet, a catapult, and a battering ram.

Here is a view of the remains of the keep. The keep is the part of the castle that is most heavily defended, kind of like a castle within a castle. At this point Dave is frostbitten, both of the girls are on the verge of having their bladders explode, and I am running around like a kid in a candy shop.  :)
