alkierz
Zgaduję, że chodzi o alkierz, ang. oriel, oto dlaczego...
Alkierz (z francuskiego “arquière" - miejsce dla łuczników), czworoboczny narożnik budowli lub dobudówka, wyraźnie odcinająca się od gł. korpusu, z reguły kryta odrębnym dachem. Alkierz wykształcił się z narożnych baszt zamków warownych

The town is well known for its' ornate 'oriel' bay windows and frescoes which adorn the buildings in the town centre. The bay windows were created as a display of wealth by the buildings owners and they certainly have an air of wealth and grandeur about them. This abundance of 'oriel' windows (around 170 in total!) led to the towns nickname Erkersstadt (Erkers meaning oriel windows in German).
