ABSTRACT
A particular type of installation found within the array of complex structures associated with the castles is the focus of this chapter: double-chambered baking ovens. Looking for samples of big ovens, the people have photogrammetrically surveyed an area located in the northeast corner of the fortress, comprising a trapezoidal room and an oven external to it. A calculation of the floor space available on the platform in Le Chastellet shows that between 190 and 215 bread loaves could be placed on it for rising, easily enough space for the amount that could be inserted into the oven. It is reasonable to assume that in order to increase the efficiency of the baking process several such rounds of baking were done.
