A castle was a fort, and a manor house was the home of the lord of an estate. They were not the same thing; though a manor house could be fortified, and if it were looked very like a castle; and a castle could be used by the lord of an estate as his home. A castle usually had a curtain wall and a ward or courtyard, and a fortified manor usually did not, and that might distinguish a castle used as a home from a fortified manor house.
Oh heck, the difference depended on what the lord called it.
