Abstract:
The contribution deals with the finding of three pyrotechnological devices examined in a rescue archeological research at the castle in Veselí nad Moravou. The devices were uncovered within the original bailey of the medieval castle and they are dated to the second half of 13th until the first quarter of 14th century. In one case, it was a freestanding overground furnace; it was possible to consider its use for food processing. Other device was a fireplace located inside the log house. The third was a food furnace located in the interior of another log house, probably the castle bakery.
