Solar (room)

South Solar of Bunratty Castle in County Clare, Ireland

The solar was a room in many English and French medieval manor houses, great houses and castles, mostly on an upper storey, designed as the family's private living and sleeping quarters.[1] Within castles they are often called the "Lords' and Ladies' Chamber" or the "Great Chamber".[1]
