Is there any limitation regarding the number of students as members of the group?

The submission should include the restoration plan and the interior intervention or only one of them? (since from what we saw, generally you divided them into categories)

Both should be included. Most of the buildings are in bad condition and will require complex reconstruction (e.g., the castle was damaged by fire), but you must take into consideration the level of detail you use, as this is just a conceptual design.

Should the castle facades be completely preserved in their original form? Should the window openings be restored to resemble the historical ones?

Yes to both questions. Facades should be renovated, but it is necessary to preserve the original appearance of the castle due to its historical value.
