Primarily found in medieval architecture, an oubliette is the Forgotten Room. Taken from the French word, oublier, "to forget", the oubliette was a secret prison cell or a basement room which can only be reached through a trapdoor above (an angstloch) in a high ceiling.

The prisoner would be dropped into the cell and essentially forgotten. The only way out was by a rope or a ladder, but prisoners were not typically released from this form of imprisonment.
