Castle

Castles are borne in heraldry of different structures, and unless particularly
described, are generally depicted
with towers,
port
and
loopholes
as above. They
are also often depicted as but one of the
towers.
This bearing is sometimes termed a port between two towers and a wall with
battlements and gate between two towers, though castle seems the most proper
blazon. The buildings are almost invariably borne
masoned and, when the cement is of a particular
tincture, it would be termed
masoned of that
tincture. When the windows and ports of castles differ in colour from the
building and
field,
they are then considered to be shut, and must be so expressed in the blazon: but
if the windows and
ports
are of the
tincture of the
field,
which is seen through them, they are then open, or what is termed
voided of the
field,
and should be thus described. When the
port
is defended by a
portcullis, it should likewise be particularly noticed in the blazon.
A castle blazoned with four towers is represented in perspective as a quadrangle
with a tower at each corner as on the left.. Castles with four towers are
sometimes blazoned two towers in pale and two in fess as illustrated below.
These are also represented in perspective, but one angle is placed closer to the
spectator, whereas in the former, one side of the square is in the foreground.
