A medieval drawbridge was a movable bridge that was usually the way into a castle. The drawbridges were typically made of wood, were heavy, had hinged sides, and went across the ditch or moat that surrounded the castle.

If you closed it up, people couldn't get in because of the moat that surrounds the castle. So basically, a drawbridge is like a door, keeping enemies from coming in and letting who you choose enter.
