What would be the best way to protect a room from unwated visitors in a low-tech fantasy world? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I need this for a book I'm writing. A lot of people know about the existence of the room I'm talking about, but almost nobody has access to it.

Key?! What kind of futuristic sci-fi do you think I'm writing?!

But seriously speaking, I think I'll make it so that you have to visit a cave with a stream flowing through it, grab a fish from the stream, maybe do some rite and then the fish burps a key out.

Set up a monastery in the surrounding building whose religion is centered on only letting in the one person. The 'key' is a complex ritual (like happens nightly at the tower of london) with lots of phrases and movements to learn. The ceremony happens somewhere dangerous to the person requesting access.
