The other aspects of castles that makes them attractive is water access and storage. More often than not, there'd be a well or two within the castle with water that would be of reasonable quality by today's standards. Some castles have deep and large cellars, ideal for storing foodstuffs because they tend to maintain a stable temperature all year round which is typically very cool (to the point of chilly in some castles like the aforementioned Malbork Castle in Poland)
