It should be written - "On the hill rose a large, white, castle." Large and white describe the castle. There is a hill - a steep rise in the earth. On this hill these is a castle. The castle is the color white. The castle is large. Rose is the past tense of rise. To rise is to get up or to come up from. At one time, this castle was built on the hill - it rose from the hill. Actually, it didn't rise in the sense that the castle got up by itself. It was built by people. It is correct to say that a building, or anything else for that matter, rose on a hill. You could also say that the submarine rose from the ocean.
