Wouldn't that translate more to "beware of entry" rather than "defense to enter?" Just a thought from an amateur language nerd : )

The woodwork on the side of the stairs was the first thing that caught my eye as well. I am so moved by the craftsmanship evident in the simplest everyday objects, from the era when people made things with their hands, out of materials offered by the earth.

I'd translate that as "body" and not corpse...just my two cents.
