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:

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.
