In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, after the crossbow had become obsolete as a military weapon, crosslet loopholes were still sometimes created as a decorative architectural feature with a Christian symbolism.
U šesnaestom i sedamnaestom stoljeću nakon što je samostrel zastario kao vojno oružje, križni prorezi su ostali u povremenoj uporabi kao dekorativno arhitektonsko obilježje kršćanske simbolike.
