Well known for its secluded island location and a heavy supply of civil war arsenal, many of the loops normal humans avoid the island at all costs, claiming it to be haunted.

The courtyard of the castle is surrounded by towering walls of stone, blocking prying eyes from view. This yard is protected within the center of the castle, making it a well contained area protected by a fortress. Two tunnels lead out to the exterior of the castle walls, and a pleasant bundling of leafy trees and looks out onto a lush body of water.

Through the various twists and turns of the castle, you can stumble across a long length of hallway. On either side there are heavy cherry colored doors that have been decorated with names, stickers, and posters. This is where the peculiar children slumber; each room is a little glance into their personalities. There are more than enough rooms for each child to have their own. Many sit vacant in hopes of new peculiars being discovered.

A short distance over the water from the island brings you to a crumbling tower that is easy to overlook because it has seen better days. It was abandoned long ago well before the castle was built. Miss Barred's loop entrance is accessed through here.
