Castles but with building regs

beccaelizabethToday I am looking up fire doors, because a modern fortress should be up to fire code.
... there's probably exceptions for your actual listed building castle, but if a magic castle sprang up full grown, aside from the planning nightmare, you would also need to meet modern standards, however archaic the look.
I was just thinking that by the time you're putting in fire doors down all the corridors it's going to look like a modern hotel anyway, because there's only so many fire doors you can find. At least at the higher ratings, you can get some very traditional looking half hour doors but an hour on up is going to be pretty samey.
I am reasonably certain I am not making best use of my time on this earth.
But can you imagine being the building inspector?
