Burghaus Castle, Bavaria, Germany -- This outermost courtyard today obviously contains housing, for whom, we are not sure. During the end of the 14th century when the castle extended to its full length, this contained the homes and offices of the administrative staff of the castle. For instance, the chimney sweep lived here. Without him, the castle would probably have burned down many times in peace and not been available in war. Today the protective walls have long been breached and the road shown through the arches leads to the town of Burghausen.
