Hi there.
'Stumbled across these pages looking for some building-plans and I must say ; looks great. .Lots of info too , nice to know there are more people interested .
My question : having seen the dutch movie; "discovery of heaven", and being a huge fan off 'medieval housing' myself (ever since my parents took me as a little boy to see the "muiderslot" in the netherlands....)I got quite fascinated by the medieval locks and all sorts of different key-systems , particulary the hidden doors or passageways.
And I know there were quite a lot in the castles etc. off those days.... Does anyone know if there is a book about that , and/or plans ???
What do I have to offer in return ?
All the information you want about ( books off -)Dutch medieval castles etc.
Offcourse also to anyone interested as well...

Greetings from the netherlands.

This book does not have any medieval lock systems you are looking for but it does talk about secret passages and hidden doors:
