The preposition is 'at', and I think 'down' is functioning as an adverb: similar to saying 'Up (there) at the castle', 'Down (there) at the castle'.

The word "over" is used to show a change of location. The writer is telling a story that takes place at one location, then when he says "Over at the castle" he is now telling a story that takes place at the castle.

It's basically saying "over there/here at the castle".
This kind of prose is often used in storytelling.
For example:
The knights gathered on the field for battle. Meanwhile, over at the castle, the King looked on with aprehension.
