Gotta respect the spiral. Not once have I used a staircase from which you can see the bottom floor and not had intrusive thoughts about dropping something or myself.
Newel feels the most medieval to me, as it’s what has been used in every cathedral spire I’ve visited, but balustrade is so cool
Balaustrade gives me this impression…
A picture really is worth a thousand words. Nailed my exact impression haha
🤣🤣🤣
Staircases are so cool! My personal favorite thing to photograph in old buildings is doors.
Newel because I could never walk on one not thinking about clearing corners with my bow looking for goblins
I was going to say Newel because I’m right-handed, and I bet it would be easier for right-handers to defend going down rather than attackers going up using a sword. I might be overthinking it though.

Newel, although climbing Ulm 20 years ago scarred my psyche
Spiral or Newel. They FEEL so Medieval.
There’s no debate, spiral counter-clockwise is both aesthetically pleasing and offers the best defense against sword-bearing invaders.
Fuck, these are all bangers.
If I rememeber, I’ll edit after further deliberation.
I feel like I just leveled up my descriptive abilities for RPG DMing purposes.
Go big or go home.
Spiral… without the handrails.
Arcade for outside, converging for the main entrance hall, and gallery for everywhere else inside
Converging feels like it’s gonna throw you down. Arcade has little peekaboos, feels cozy.
Newels so knights couldn’t have their sworn in the best hand going upwards (you’d have to use the left hand, and that was something knights just wouldn’t do, it meant dying)
And here I was expecting everyone else to say semi-circular too. Humble and simple.
