A castle wall is the fortification of a castle. It is used both for military protection and as a means of demarcation against other regions, but today it is mostly used for demonstration purposes only

How to map

Draw a way way along the castle wall. Add barrier=wall + wall=castle_wall.

This tag should be reserved for substantial walls that establish the castle as a stronghold. It is not appropriate for more general walls within the castle, or less substantial boundary walls, e.g. park land associated with a castle.
