It is as dark, menacing, and evil as the person who inhabits it. However, the castle actually has a deeper connection and purpose for the Sith than just appearance.

Original Jabba The Hutt From 'A New Hope' Has Been Made Canon
Did you know Jabba the Hutt was once a human instead of a giant slug creature? Like many things in Star Wars and the story of the franchise, things change and evolve with time. Concepts change, character design changes, and in other cases some characters are fused together to become a single character. The biggest example of course being Anakin and Darth Vader, obviously.

'Star Wars' Theory: Luke Was To Deflect Attention Away From Leia, The True Secret Weapon Against The Emperor

These revelations also proved that Luke was not, in fact, the last Jedi, and that Leia had an equal potential to become a Jedi master. Had Leia known about her heritage sooner, she might have been able to not only lead the Rebels against the Empire, but also fight against the Sith alongside her brother. A new theory suggests that perhaps this was the plan for Leia the entire time.
