This is a castle that should be preserved! It’s a valuable piece of history!

Any mention of an oubliette or some walled up skeletons? Those have to be the creepiest things to find in a medieval castle, as it means that the victims were subjected to one of the most drawn out execution methods in history, starvation! For the uninitiated, an oubliette was a kind of dungeon within a dungeon into which some unfortunate souls would be lowered or thrown and left to starve to death, and it’s essentially a variation on immurement or live burial.
