I don't really want to go into detail here on the subject of battlements.
To point 5.
In fact, it could also be a palace. But as the construction stages show, it used to be much smaller.
The norm: residential tower approx. 1-2 storeys. Later a wall around it. Is it already a castle now? The beginnings were in the 900th century. What happened until the 1400th century? It is quite clear that it was a castle in the beginning.
Further, I know there are none north of the Alps before 1500, but how far east I can only guess. But from a political point of view, I would draw the line here. (picture).
As for the roofs, they were everywhere.
With the masts. Be careful between old flags and weather masts and modern lightning conductors.
