How many castles stayed the same throughout the whole medieval period?
None of them! Castles throughout medieval Europe were periodically subjected to sieges, during which time the castle's defensive structures were under attack. They were constantly being torn down and rebuilt, expanded and improved, and people were constantly developing better defensive features for castles. Some castles were even torn down completely and rebuilt again, but none of them stayed the same throughout the whole period.
