Owlery

Located at the top of the Castle's West Tower is the Owlery, home of the owls owned by students, staff, and the school during the school year. A circular stone room known to be cold and drafty because of the lack of glass in the windows, owls are able to come and go freely, but when they are there, they rest on perches rising right to the top of the tower. The floor is covered in straw, owl droppings, and regurgitated skeletons of rodents. The room is very cold in the winter, and ice is often found on the higher levels of the owlery during these months.
