A Song of Ice and Fire Locations | Winterfell’s Godswood
Winterfell itself has been built around an ancient godswood. A godswood is usually a small wooded area enclosed by the castle walls throughout the Seven Kingdoms. It is primarily used as a place of worship by those who carry on the traditions of the First Men and pray to the Old Gods. When the First Men took up the Old Faith, they created godswoods, groves within their castles and villages where a single Weirwood known as a heart-tree, was planted so the gods could be worshipped.

The stone is strong, Bran told himself, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones. So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me, he thought. I’m not dead either.
