One answer:
the first castle was built by the Normans in 1066, they started securing their position in a similar way, building Motte and Bailey Castles and later Stone Castles.
Another answer:
There really is no castle we can call the first. Castle design evolved from the earlier designs of forts used by Romans and the people who came immediately after them. The innovations that distinguished castles from those earlier forts did not appear all at once, but gradually, over a period of probably more than a century, between about the years of 800 and 1000 AD. We do not have clear records of this time, and the history of castles during it is very obscure. Without doubt, many castles were built of which we have no record, and what records we do have are very incomplete, so it is hard to trace the progress of the design.
We do have a castle that is said to be the oldest still in existence. Châteaux Doué-la-Fontaine, in France, which was built around 950 AD, is considered to be the oldest castle in Europe.
Another answer:
