Located in Northern Scandinavia, the castle is relatively smaller than other wizarding schools but its extensive grounds more than make up for it. Surrounded by two different lakes and set in the middle of a fjord on a mountain range, the school makes great use of its ship for transportation. In the summer months, students are often outside skiing or enjoying the hot springs, but during the winter months where there is very little sunlight, students stay within the castle which is kept warm by the underground springs, enchanted lanterns, and layers of thick tapestries. Each year a school-wide competition is held in the Combat Arena for students to participate in with events include dueling, flying, and potioneering. "
