About
The Portcullis Story: More Than Just a Name
In medieval architecture, a portcullis (from French "porte coulisse" - sliding door) was an ingenious security innovation: a strong, latticed gate made of wood or metal that could be raised or lowered as needed,
protecting the castle while allowing controlled access for allies and commerce.
