Volkihar Keep is the home of the Volkihar vampire clan in Skyrim, located at Castle Volkihar on an island far west of Solitude.

Though you can travel to the island immediately upon installing the Dawnguard plug-in, the keep is initially inaccessible. You must work with the Dawnguard vampire hunters for a short time in order to gain entry, even if you wish to side with the Volkihar vampire clan during the plug-in's main questline. Once you locate Serana, she tells you to take her here. After reaching the island, you will be able to gain entrance to the keep by crossing the bridge connecting to the island. On your first visit, she will stop you on the bridge to say a few words before the watchman standing guard will open the gate to the keep.

Outside the keep, there is little of note besides the bone hawks circling the castle. Throughout the inside of the keep are a large number of bookcases (all fully stocked), as well some various poisonous flowers in planters scattered around. Some of the keep is destroyed, making certain areas inaccessible, though the path to the courtyard (located at the back end of the top floor) may be repaired after completing Dawnguard's main questline on the Volkihar side by talking to Garan Marethi. This repair is free of charge and is completed the next time you enter the keep.
