| Description | By the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Early Modern period, most Moravian castles no longer served primarily as fortresses. Most castles were being transformed into comfortable residences. Some castles that remained fortified relied on their older fortifications, or were only occasionally supplemented with individual new defensive structures. However, likely in response to the Habsburg–Ottoman wars, new, modern fortifications were occasionally built. One such example is the fortification of the castle in Židlochovice. e topic of the paper is the archaeological research of the fortifications at the Židlochovice Castle and a general overview of the issue of circular bastions in Moravia. |
