Difference from Castle: Defense has disappeared

A French manor that is no longer fortified. True castles have thick walls, arrow slits, drawbridges, and tiny openings; here, the towers are merely formal—round corner towers with windows as large as those on the main building, the moat has become a reflecting pool, and the main gate is a wrought-iron structure that can open completely. It looks historic, but it is entirely residential. Avoid: adding arrow slits, battlements, and drawbridges, making openings extremely small, turning the mass into a defensive fortress, adding military imagery.

一座已經不設防的法式莊園。真正的城堡有厚牆、箭孔、吊橋與極小的開口;這裡的塔只剩形式——圓的轉角塔上開著和主樓一樣大的窗,護城河變成一面水鏡,大門是可以整片打開的鍛鐵。它看起來有歷史,但完全是住宅。避免:加入箭孔、雉堞與吊橋、把開口做得極小、讓量體變成防禦性的堡壘、加入軍事的意象。
