THERE WERE NO BATHROOM WITH MODERN TOILET IN MIDDLE AGES




It's true, that there were no bathrooms with modern toilets like the ones we have today. Instead, the palace residents relied on chamber pots.

Basically, chamber pots were small pots or bowls that were used as a toilet in the bedroom. They were emptied in the palace's gardens or in cesspits located in the palace's cellars. It was a common practice in those days and not just limited to the Palace of Versailles, but also in other palaces and homes of the wealthy.

Now, you might be thinking, how did they manage with this kind of system? Well, it was not as bad as it sounds. The palace was equipped with running water and the residents had private bathrooms, but they were only used for bathing and grooming. The palace was also equipped with a sewage system, but it was not conpalacenected to the toilets.



In addition to that, the  was also serviced by a large staff, so chamber pots were regularly collected and emptied.

The palace also had several outdoor privies, which were basically outdoor toilets. These privies were located in the palace's gardens and were only used by the palace staff and not by the royal family and their guests.






The Palace of Versailles was a symbol of wealth and power during the time of the French monarchy. It was also one of the most opulent palaces in the world and had many advanced features for its time, but when it comes to bathroom facilities, it lags behind what we have today. The palace was eventually transformed into a museum and now it is open to the public, so if you ever get a chance to visit, don't forget to think about the different bathroom habits of the past…
