The space was quite massive... it's a wonder more of the exterior hasn't collapsed onto itself.

It's the mark of great architecture if a building can withstand all the things this has gone through. No wonder they called it a castle.

I think the vines and growth are holding it together. If those walls ever let loose, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it.

I was in Dresden (Germany) in the early 80's, and a large part of the city center was still gutted from the firestorm bombing from the Second World War. Many of the buildings resembled this, exactly.

If any of you are interested in seeing Bannerman Arsenel Pre-ruin, I have a link ~ is it allowable to paste the link here? Or would it be copywrite issues?

@ Nauseous:
There are 4 visible here, and you are standing atop the contents of all these floors, which completely fill another below, possibly two.
5 or 6 all together if the catacombs are any indication.
I can only imagine what exactly remains buried beneath all that, it would be utterly facinating to excavate!

I have always wondered if anyone perished in the conflagration; if so, we would be walking across their impromptu grave.
