The well was very important in the castle, especially because there was no aqueduct until the 1950s. We’ll show you a fascinating object related to it. When the bucket or amphora was lowered to collect water, the rope could break. Oh no! Back then, they didn’t buy a new one or use other systems; they tried to retrieve it with this object, which Clotilde will now show you. It’s a series of hooks that were dragged to the bottom to hopefully catch the handle of the bucket or amphora and bring it back up for reuse. They were much cleverer than us.
