Medieval castles were built by local lords who ruled the area. They owned the land, collected taxes and dispensed 'justice'. They required castles to protect themselves from unhappy locals, and sometimes from foreign invaders (depending on the country), and to display their power.
Medieval castles were built out of stone, mortar, and wood.
Castles usually took 7-12 years to build, but bigger ones could take up to 20 years! There would be medieval craftsmen that did masonry, sculpt the huge stone blocks and also architects who would design the castles themselves. Master masons would hire carpenters, glaziers etc. and were highly skilled during the medieval period.
The first stone castles or fortifications, were built in Medieval England while William the Conqueror ruled. They were not built by Africans but by English peasants.

They didn't ever build a castle at a certain time of day. They would work on it probably all day and sometime into the night, if it was required, until they were finished.
