- Quaint House: A small white residential building separates the Chapel from Point B.

The final stretch of the map mostly takes place inside the large and luxurious Burgomeister's Castle. Its interior consists of spacious rooms with high chandelier-carrying ceilings, whose walls and floors are adorned with red carpets and banners.
- Castle Gates: The main entrance to the Castle, although there exist two smaller side entrances next to it. It begins to lift up just after Point B is captured.
- Fireplace Room: Immediately in front of the Gates is a slightly run-down room with a fireplace and some furniture in it.
- Wine Storage: Going through one of the smaller side entrances takes one to the Wine Storage, a vast room with cabinets containing large wine bottles.
- Shortcut: Accessible from the Fireplace Room is a small hallway that takes players to the Library.
- Library: A library-like chamber with a lot of bookshelves and reading spaces, useful for flanking around Point C.
- Stairs Flank: Opposite to the Library is a flight of stairs that lead to a small perch.
- Dropdown: One of the exits for RED's final spawn room, ending in a dropdown.
