Now PK: 

I don't really wonder, actually. I figure that a castle whose
staircases may lead somewhere different on various days of the week,
and so on, and now that has a staircase that converts into a slide and
a room that appears only when needed and has whatever IS needed inside
it... is quite capable of being enchanted as well to remodel *itself*
for the sake of modern (recognizable?) conveniences.

In other words, it's magic. ;)
