Winterfell is a castle in the North of Westeros. It is the ancestral home and seat of power of House Stark, which has ruled the North for millenia. Built on top of a hot spring, it uses the water from that spring for heating, making it more comfortable than other castles during the harsh northern winter. Under the castle there is a crypt where the Starks bury their dead.

The castle was sacked and burned down by Ramsay Snow (later legitimised son of Roose Bolton in the War of the Five Kings. The crypts remain intact.
