What about building=castle?
Indeed, the value of this key can be anything, as long as it is present
it will be (atleast) equal to building = yes
But castles could use some more verbose tagging: for example, by your
description, this is a castle, water around it and additional buildings:
http://osm.org/go/0EpInQ2Fd?way=66924557
If Marc has passed with his knowledge, you'll also notice that
'heritage' tags will be added, (Escada) Marc Gemis knows more about how
to go about this correctly.
Adding Historic=yes is not a bad idea either. (map renderers will take
this into account).
Good luck on completing this.

It's just what Mapnik decides to show on its map, there are other
renderings,
like http://opentopomap.org/#map=15/51.00633/5.31934 that have
special symbols
for castles.
The most detailed way of mapping a castle would be outlining the
building
contours, and then add the historic=castle tag on that building.
It'll then
show up on Mapnik since it has building=yes, but still no special
castle
symbol.
