Tim Krabbé, the renowned Keeper of Chess Records, tells us that the latest
castling came in Neshewat-Garrison, Detroit 1994, where Black played 48...0-0.
The latest queenside castling, 46...0-0-0, occurred in Mitenkov-Strukov, Geller
memorial USSR 1999. The greatest number of castlings in a single game, Tim tells
us, is three. It happened in the following jewel:

Heidenfeld - Kerins, Dublin 1973: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Be3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.f4 c5
6.c3 Nc6 7.Nf3 Qb6 8.Qd2 c4 9.Be2 Na5 10.0-0 f5 11.Ng5 Be7 12.g4 Bxg5 13.fxg5
Nf8 14.gxf5 exf5 15.Bf3 Be6 16.Qg2 0-0-0 17.Na3 Ng6 18.Qd2 f4 19.Bf2 Bh3 20.Rfb1
Bf5 21.Nc2 h6 22.gxh6 Rxh6 23.Nb4 Qe6 24.Qe2 Ne7 25.b3 Qg6+ 26.Kf1 Bxb1 27.bxc4
dxc4 28.Qb2 Bd3+ 29.Ke1 Be4 30.Qe2 Bxf3 31.Qxf3 Rxh2 32.d5 Qf5 33.0-0-0 Rh3
34.Qe2 Rxc3+ 35.Kb2 Rh3 36.d6 Nec6 37.Nxc6 Nxc6 38.e6 Qe5+ 39.Qxe5 Nxe5 40.d7+
Nxd7 0-1.

(castling in moves 10, 16 and 33)

Now... just let me sit at a chess board with a beginner, and I bet that I can
break this record!
