Fun fact. When besieging a castle they would often build these just as a bluff. even ones that look like real trebuchets but infact where just made to look the part. Inorder to get the other party to surrender. due to the length of time needed to erect such a structure. the sheer sight of seeing these go up would signal to the one inside that they mean business and resistance is futile..or so they say Like: "oh god they are serious. If they can afford to build all these expensive trebuchets who knows what will happen when they finally take the castle.."
