my pick is E
here is the reasoning
when u say "this castle" that means u r referring something which is still there(might not be in as good condition as it was built !!) so in the second clause we need
"it stands" and not "it stood" so A and D are out !!
B uses "past perfect" -----> not required hence out !!
C uses wrong usage "now standing"
hence my pick E

Rightly pointed, the second part of the sentence has to be stands as the reference is 'This castle'.
Past perfect in B is irrelevant.
So i also go with E.
