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