The crypts are deep under the earth, cavernous and bigger than the complex above ground. Between pillars stand the sepulchers of the Starks of Winterfell, the likenesses of the dead seated on thrones, with iron swords set before them to keep the restless spirits from wandering, and snarling direwolves at their feet. The underground crypts are long and narrow, with pillars moving two by two along its length. The crypt of Winterfell, located near the First Keep, is where members of House Stark are buried.The garden has green and yellow glass panes locked in frames. It is used to grow fruits, vegetables and flowers. The glass garden is a greenhouse heated by the hot springs, which turn it into a place of moist warmth.
The godswood is enclosed by walls, and is accessed by a main iron gate, or smaller wooden ones.

Across the godswood from the heart tree, beneath the windows of the Guest House, an underground hot spring feeds three small pools, with a moss-covered wall looming above them. At the center of the grove stands an ancient weirwood with a face carved into it, standing over a pool of black water. The ancient godswood of Winterfell has stood untouched for ten thousand years, with three acres of old packed earth and close-together trees creating a dense canopy, which the castle was built around.Over 140 years ago a lightning strike set it afire and the top third collapsed inward, but no one rebuilt it. The broken tower, also known as the Burned Tower, was once the tallest watchtower in Winterfell.Maester Kennet determined it was built after the Andals arrived.

The small sept was built for Lady Catelyn Tully, a southron, by her husband, Lord Eddard.The seat's cold stone has been polished by the many lords who have sat upon it, and its massive arms are decorated with the carved heads of snarling direwolves. The hall contains the high seat of the old Kings in the North. There is a raised platform for noble guests, and the walls are covered with banners. Inside it can hold eight long rows of trestle tables, four to each side of the central aisle, and the hall can seat five hundred people. It is made of grey stone and has wide doors made of oak and iron, which opens to the castle yard, and a rear exit leads to a dimly-lit gallery. The Great Hall is used for receiving guests and the place where the household dines together, including the Lord of Winterfell.Beneath the Great Keep are cellars with narrow windows. From a window on the covered bridge, one can see the entire yard. The building is connected to the armory by a covered bridge. The Great Keep contains bedchambers for House Stark as well as the solar of Lord Eddard Stark. It was built over natural hot springs to keep it warm. The Great Keep is the innermost castle and stronghold of the castle complex.Winterfell's towers and halls have diamond-shaped window panes. Inside Winterfell stands the inner castle, which contains the Great Keep and the Great Hall. The inner ward is a second, much older open space in the castle where archery practice takes place.
Weapons training and practice take place in those yards. Inside the walls, the complex is composed of dozens of courtyards and small open spaces. The water is piped through walls and chambers to heat them, making Winterfell more comfortable than other castles during the harsh northern winters. Winterfell has been built around an ancient godswood and over natural hot springs. There is a village outside, the winter town. Winterfell is a huge castle complex spanning several acres and protected by two massive walls.
