Emperor Belos' Castle is the home of Emperor Belos in the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House.
Background[]
Fifty years prior to the events of the series, Emperor Belos took control of the Boiling Isles and ended the "Savage Ages", when witches and demons used magic freely. Belos saw this as disrespectful to the titan who makes up the Isles. He founded the Coven System and built his castle as a symbol of unity.
The palace itself is settled in a canyon located at the center of the isles, surrounded by a pit of giant sharp rocks. The only access to the castle is by a metal bridge that extends from the palace, over the pit of sharp rocks, and over to a platform from where visitors come and go. Inside the castle lies the very heart of the isles, located in the throne room.

Appearances[]
The Owl House[]
The castle first appeared in "Agony of a Witch", where Luz Noceda, Willow Park, and Gus Porter went there for a field trip along with the students of Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. They were giving up the castle by Kikimora who tells them the history of the isles. Luz wander away from the group to find something to cure Eda's curse with the help of Gus and Willow who decided to help. Lilith Clawthorne caught them and send Willow and Gus to the Owl House to give [[[Eda Clawthorne]] a message while holding Luz prisoner. Eda shows and battle Lilith, but the curse takes control and Eda and turns her into the Owl Beast, allowing Lilith to captured Eda and bring her to Belos to be cure of her curse.
However, Lilith discover Belos never intended to cure her of her curse and have her petrified. Luz later returns to the castle to save Eda and encounter Belos who wanted the portal door, Luz gave it him, but later destroy it and escape the castle. The Nine Coven Heads later visit the castle and were then shown a false vision of the Day of Unity until Belos was pulled away due to his illness getting worse and Hunter went to go more Palisman. After Hunter failed to collect more Palisman, he went to his room where Flapjack had selected him as his wielder.
Following the Day of Unity, the castle was abandoned and was visibly vandalized. In Watching and Dreaming, Belos, possessing Raine Whispers, returned to his castle and possessed the heart of the Titan. As a result, the castle was destroyed due to Belos spreading across the Isles. Four years after Belos was defeated, a tree was grown in its place and became the University of Wild Magic.
