It's called a rook not castle.

Sorry, I meant "stopping opponent from castling."

I was wondering, what is the point value of the right to castle ? Would it be worth a pawn, or more, or less ?

Probably a lot more due to the fact that king safety is very important.  I think that computers assign a large point value for having the ability to castle.
