Within the castle walls...

 

Back in the day, oh say a bunch of centuries ago, when this little ol' fortress was teeming with maidens, knights and gentry of the like, I imagined that this doorway led to the quarters of one Herr Heinz Rübenach. A kindly fellow normally, on occasion though, after a few Benediktiners, he would bump his way along home and upon reaching this point and observing just how many stairs were ahead of him, just kind of slunked off into a cubby by the stairwell, opting for a 'more opportune time' to conquer the ascent.
