Castle in Croatia





Ok so what is so unusual about this castle why I posted it?

It is the only one ever built with 8 sides with its own corner turret leading to the upstairs rooms. Nothing unique it that I hear you say, but wait a minute. Only one of the turrets lead onto the roof, so should any invaders actually manage to gain access to the inside they then have to find out which turret the defenders on the roof used.
Further than that the actual roof turret access the stairs wind the opposite way so those climbing it have to defend themselves with the sword in the left "wrong" hand, wheras the defenders could use the right sword hand.

There is a little bit of useless information for you.
