What Is Crenelation?

Mike learned a new word: Crenelation - a rampart built around the top of a castle with regular gaps for firing arrows or guns. He saw how this is used in design at the Peak of Chic blog in Mining The Middle Ages For Inspiration.

I like this new style, and the way that history can be used to design and shape the future.

I think the design itself goes back to the medieval times.
