00:00What a toilet would look like in the Middle Ages, the builders of medieval fortresses
00:07came up with the idea of installing latrines above the windows, taking them outside the
00:14fortress wall, the walls thus fell into the fortress mode.
00:19If you look at the paintings of Peter Bruegel or Hieronymus Bosch, you will see that toilets
00:28were similarly equipped in many rich houses of that time.
00:34The latrines were taken outside the wall of the building, and they seemed to hang over
00:40the canals and moats.
00:43The construction principle made it possible not to worry about creating and cleaning a
00:50cesspool on the territory of a fortress or castle.
00:55Lattices were often placed near the chimney so that visitors to the establishment would
01:03be warners and trespassers.
