They weren't. The word keep was not used until after the medieval period had ended - the word used was donjon and donjons came in many different shapes and sizes, including some with a long, sharply angled extension like the prow of a ship. Nobody categorised castles by the shape of the donjon - that it a completely modern idea.

What kind of castles were built?

Castles were built in various styles and forms throughout history, depending on the time period and region. Some common types include motte-and-bailey castles, concentric castles, and stone keep castles. Motte-and-bailey castles were early medieval fortifications consisting of a wooden or stone keep built on a raised earthwork called a motte, with an enclosed courtyard known as a bailey. Concentric castles were developed in the 12th and 13th centuries and featured multiple layers of defensive walls and towers. Stone keep castles, also known as Norman castles, were constructed primarily in the 11th and 12th centuries and featured a central stone tower or keep surrounded by walls and other structures.
