Does the castle tile close the fields or lakes next to it?

Two forum replies read the castle tile this way, and it follows from the rule that only terrain closes an area.

No. The castle tile's grass is one open field, since its roads do not divide it, and icons are not borders. Only a different terrain type closes a neighbouring area; the castle's side mountain or lake can close a neighbouring mountain or lake.
