Thank you very much for sharing this!
Awesome, How people thought the world looked like back then, There is a map where california is it's own island XD
I love stuff like this. I've been combing through Google and grabbing floor plans for big, famous estates...then turning around and using them as castles/dungeons in my D&D campaign. This originally started as a floor plan for an old mansion or estate that I came across (recreated in Adobe Illustrator) :

Good find, some of those illustrations are fantastic. There's a genre of painting and drawing (probably etching too) that I really like, showing the lonely ruins of a castle from a distance. I remember seeing one of Drachenfels some time in the past. So cliché, but still...
xpian, that's great, it makes me think of Sans Souci in Berlin.
cheers,

Informative post and link, thanks
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.
I used eplans.com for getting ideas for my house. Lots of stuff there, not necessarily medieval but good reference for spatial relationships of rooms and what not.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I am using the Raby Castle from your resource. By scaling the drawing using google maps distance, then I have created a resource for the Castle gate for use in 5x5 feet square maps in adventure gaming.
