Because I was talking about the Winter Soldier to my mom and she said, “Ah–Binky Barnes.”

What are the parts of the castle(if you don't mind in details),because my MC is a new servant in a castle and i need details about the rooms,servant chambers,royal chambers,etc

(If you don't mind in details ofc)

A castle has a large collection of different rooms. The most important is the great hall where the inhabitants would gather, dine and throw important events (it will be a large room, always fitted with the largest fireplace, well decorated as it is the "showing off room" so it's imperative to have the best of the best in there). The bedchambers for the family are located usually in the keep, where it is safest and warmest. They will be in the upper floors, richly decorated. Depending on the size of the castle, sometimes the chambers would have more than one occupant - as might the bed. There may be other rooms for guests. Higher ranking servants such as a lady's maid would usually sleep in special accommodations close to their master's for convivence. Pages and personal servants may sleep on the floor of their master's rooms. Lesser servants like kitchen maids and stable boys would bed down inside their respective areas or within large communal areas. The solar was sort of like office/living room, a large room highly furnished and decorated. The kitchen is self explanatory (a very large room, with large fireplaces), the pantry is where food is stored (smaller room, very dry to keep out moisture). The bakehouse is a large room that is devoted to the baking of bread, usually set with multiple wood fed ovens that must be monitored all day and night. The armoury would be where the weapons are stored, think of it like a storeroom with racks and racks of weapons. There would be a gatehouse which is the front entrance of the castle, usually set with a portcullis with rooms for the guards. There might also be a separate guardhouse with rooms for the guards to live and eat. The courtyard is a wide open space at the heart of the castle. There would be stables, wooden shelters for the upkeep of horses. There would be a cellar under the castle, a large open room for the storage of long term food and drink. There would be guard towers on each corner of the wall, differing in shape and height but all built for defence with narrow slit windows and crenelations.

I think that's everything covered in detail.

Below is a diagram of what the layout of a typical castle a would look like.
