Art in the Castle

Castles seem like they were beautiful when they were still around.  This is because the castle was filled with art. Some of the art was tapestries.  Tapestries are a cloth that can show a story.  They used to be hung on castles but later on were painted right on the wall.  A single threader could make one of these, a meter in length, in one year.  The threads were wool, silk for light colors, silver and gold.

Another type of art in a castle is stained glass windows.  These are translucent material that are made of glass and sometimes shows a picture or story.  Later on in castle life stained glass windows became much bigger.  They let more light into churches and showed stories from the bible, gospel, and lives of saints.
