and also - how do we handle the grounds? is there landuse=castle?
the historic=castle tag will go on the whole site, the individual
buildings get their own building tags
Assuming then that the area that the castle **and the outer walls**
occupies is historic=castle,
then is there some kind of building=* to cover the castle itself -
especially in a multi-building setup where there are smaller secondary
buildings, so tagging the actual castle would be nice. Having it be
one of those “higher priority” buildings in OSM renderings would be
nice too.
I have used building=yes.
If castles are to have a building=castle then so too do other
buildings.. building=palace ...
If the buildings and the walls are separate, then we need a way to tag
both then. We really need a barrier=castle_wall or
man_made=castle_wall - as “city wall” is a barrier that used to
surround a whole town,
so I think there is a need for barrier=castle_wall or something.
At the moment I have used barrier=wall .. to that can be added height
and material tags.
The difference between a city wall and a castle wall? Higher? ... Both
have some defensive capability.
Some times the building inside the castle also has defensive
capabilities too.
Considering the numbers and variability .. within OSM I'd think a tag
that covers any defensive wall would be best..
barrier=defensive_wall?
The difficult part is to signify the wall has a path along its top, and
is castellated.
How is the 'Great Wall of China" tagged ?
Perhaps in the future?
barrier=defensive_wall
height=6
defensive_wall:path=yes
defensive_wall:path:width= 6
defensive_wall:castellated=yes
You can tell what the wall surrounds ..usually by looking.
