What 🏰 castle means

Buildings mark a place in a story: 🏠 for home, 🏥 for a hospital visit, 🏫 for school runs, 🏦 for money talk. The set is visibly inherited from Japanese carrier emoji — Unicode carries both 🏣 Japanese post office and 🏤 post office as separate characters, and 🏩 love hotel exists because the source sets had one.

Unicode tags this one building, european and files it under Travel & Places → Buildings.
