a château


Explanation:
Jak alternatywa, choć niezby pasuje do „Straznego Dworu”. Pewnie by w tym tłumaczeniu „straszyło” :)

A château (plural châteaux; French pronunciation: [ʃato] for both the singular and the plural) is a manor house or residence of the lord of the manor or a country house of nobility or gentry, with or without fortifications, originally—and still most frequently—in French-speaking regions
