Summer Kitchen:

THE MEDIEVAL STORY

A long long ……………. time ago the SUMMER KITCHEN was separated from the Main Castle. Food was prepared here on open fire and big cast iron pots. Cooking and washing was allocated for this area and it was extremely hot and smoky. If you were hungry this was the place to be.

TODAY
