Frequently asked
What is the difference between a gargoyle and a grotesque?
True gargoyles are water spouts that channel rainwater away from buildings through their mouths, while grotesques are purely decorative stone carvings without water-spouting function. Both serve as architectural guardians on medieval structures.
Why were gargoyles originally created for buildings?
Gargoyles served the practical purpose of directing rainwater away from stone walls to prevent erosion and damage. Medieval architects cleverly disguised these necessary water spouts as frightening creatures to ward off evil spirits.
