      Wall anchors. They keep the facade attached to the crossbeams.

      They’re wall anchors used to secure beams for the flooring.

      Don’t know the name, but these are things going through the wall to strengthen it. Sometimes they are more or less integrated as part of the decoration of the façade. A classic one is writing the date of construction with them

      Its where the wood beams that are used for the structure/floor connect to the brick outside. Pressure on the brick is distributed this way

      they are [anchor plates](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_plate), they are “wrought-iron clamp, of Flemish origin, on the exterior side of a brick building wall that is connected to the opposite wall by a steel tie-rod to prevent the two walls from spreading apart; these clamps were often in the shape of numerals indicating the year of construction, or letters representing the owner’s initials, or were simply fanciful designs.”

      An anchorplate. Used to hold the wall connected to the floor so that the wall doesn’t bow out. If you look at the photo you will see they are where the floor is of every story. Primarily found in old buildings

      Used to tie up your horse/giraffe while you go enjoy the local waffles.

      They’re there so that assasin’s creed characters can climb the buildings
