Bouillon, medieval castle


Another day, another visit.  The Castle of Bouillon dates back from at least 988 AD, however, it might be even be older.  It first belonged to Godfroy of Bouillon, who left for the crusades in early 1000.  It has all that an old castle could have, torture chambers, dungeons and  fowls.











 Such a treat for a claustrophobic like me!!!
Tickle room

The time out room

So tempted to push her, but then I'd end up in the dungeon for life!

The Falconer 

The powder room, as in where they store the powder and not as in where the queen did her make-up!

Water storage, beats my 72 hour kit!

Onto the next adventure...but we are coming to an end soon unfortunately :(
