Thank you.

The 9-rosette castle has both the swallowtail and the traditional merlons - some old castles have that because they upgraded their walls at some point - the Runkelstein castle for example has both types of merlons. it would have been perfect fit if the tower didn't blow up and take down part of the swallowtail merlons wall :
There is a good chance, if the VMs castle was meant to be a particular castle, that the castle does not survive to this day in the same shape and form. I personally think that the VMs castle is a generic representation of a castle. There is no way to know for sure unless the author wrote about it and could read it
