Ropes and pulleys. I thought The Pillars of The Earth by Ken Follett was a pretty detailed description of how a 12th century gothic cathedral was built. I imagine it was similar.

They said you can't build a castle in the swamp, but I built it. And it sank. So I built a second castle on top of that castle. And it sank. But the third castle.........

Excellent fictional account of building a large cathedral during the 12th century is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

Yeah. I can remember as a kid driving to and from mobile and passing it. I thought it was the coolest fricking thing I’ve ever seen

It’s definitely ready to withstand a siege. I think I read the owner built it to cash in on the 1984 World’s Fair tourists
