A gatehouse is a building at the gate of a castle or fortified town or city. It is intended to provide defense of the gate. It was often also used as a place where members of the garrison could sleep, so they could be called to defend more quickly. It often included mechanisms that could raise and lower a drawbridge or portcullises. In a castle it was usually the strongest position in the curtain wall.
