Medieval wooden motte castle with keep and ditch Low-poly 3D model

cgtrader

Low-poly reconstruction of an early 11th century wooden motte castle. A very common type of castles in the middle ages between the 9th and 12th century in northern Europe, like France, Germany, Denmark, Poland and Britain. This motte has a rather flat mound with only approximately 2 m in height above the water. Some exceeded up to 30 m in height. However the majority of mottes was between 5 – 10 m high. Most times the motte was not a solitary structure but rather was accompanied by an enclosed courtyard: The so called “motte-and-bailey castle”. The bailey could easily be added to the model by using parts of the existing palisade and align them along a spline, if needed.
