A ridge castle is a term derived from the German word ''Kammburg'' for a medieval fortification built on a ridge or the crest of mountain or hill chain.〔Friedrich-Wilhelm Krahe: ''Burgen des deutschen Mittelalters. Grundriss-Lexikon''. Flechsig, Würzburg 2000, ISBN 3-88189-360-1, p. 18.〕 Ridge castles were not a common type of fortification. While castles of this type were relatively well protected, they had the disadvantage that they could be attacked from two sides.〔 For mutual protection, several such castles could be built within close proximity of one another. == See also == *Château de Montségur in France was used by the Cathars and lies on the spur of a mountain. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ridge castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
