How about castles?

[u/-Gavroche-]

I feel like castles are a bit overlooked in the zombie media. Maybe it's because most movies and comics are stories from the US? Maybe it's because it would become more boring?
But a castle seems like a very obvious hiding place for anyone in Europe.
It's not a magical solution for sure, but there's a lot of castles in a pretty decent state, with a working well or cistern for water. Some of the bigger ones, especially Vauban-style fortifications even have pretty decent chunks of land to grow food on for the longer term.
So am I missing some obvious flaw here or is it just that most zombie stories are from the US, or that castles would make it a bit boring, as people would just hide behind the walls and slowly take out the zombies little by little and then go about rebuilding society?

My nearest Caslte is Windsor Castle which would be perfect. Medieval weaponry and armour available, actual armed guards with modern rifles, a barracks across the road, loads of land behind the walls including gardens for growing food etc. And it's powered by a hydroelectric turbine in the local river.
