A drawbridge was used by the people of a castle or walled city to prevent outsiders from getting in. The design purpose of the drawbridge was for military defense, so enemies could not even get to the gates. Drawbridges were raised in some places during the Black Plague, effectively putting the area within the walls under siege until the plague passed. In a few places where the plague had not already got in, this was an effective way to protect the inhabitants.
the drawbridge was raised and lowered to allow or prevent acsess into the castle.
A piece of wood connected to the castle by iron. When raised the enemy would have to either fill in the moat or tunnel underground and then up into the castle.
In order to keep out enemies or invaders.
Drawbridges on castles were a precaution against enemy attack because they provided the only passage in and out of moat-surrounded castles. They could be raised on chains to prevent access.Bascule bridges, commonly known as drawbridges, can open in the middle to allow passage of ships that are too tall to pass underneath the bridge. There are single-leaf and double-leaf designs depending on the size and location.

The water under a drawbridge is typically called a moat.

Today, drawbridges are primarily used for aesthetic purposes or to regulate access to certain areas.
