Ramifications
Ramparts adorn the castle walls
Amidst them slotted turrets
Making for a grim facade
Inside a moat that repelled many
Fortess of all it guards
In its depths a dungeon
Captives were placed there
A home to torture chambers
The stains of blood darkly visible
Inferno pit in the centre
Over which people were hung alive
No mercy given here to foes
Screams heard for miles around
Amidst them slotted turrets
Making for a grim facade
Inside a moat that repelled many
Fortess of all it guards
In its depths a dungeon
Captives were placed there
A home to torture chambers
The stains of blood darkly visible
Inferno pit in the centre
Over which people were hung alive
No mercy given here to foes
Screams heard for miles around

You have instilled a fear to be the foe
of the person owning "the castle walls"...
Very expressive, exceptional acrostic!
Nicely done "Teach"...
