I once took notice of Bellinzona as the possible prototype, but dismissed it, don't remember why exactly, but I believe I considered its merlons somehow out of time, for example Sasso Corbaro was built only in the late 15th century.
The pitfall with castles is that many of them have been repeatedly rebuilt, and their modern view is often not what it was back then, in the time frame of interest.
It's entirely possible, I think, that the building depicted in the VMS is simply long destroyed.
