There are several types of castles. Some features that might be included in a castle (though not all castles would have each of these):
A motte, or flat-topped mound of earth; this could be a natural hill or constructed by moving in dirt to form it
Curtain walls, walls built to enclose an area of land
A bailey, the area of land so enclosed (not actually a "building")
A keep/tower/donjon, a fortified residence/barracks/headquarters
A gatehouse, a strong point designed to protect the entrance
A barbican, a defensive point just outside the gatehouse
