Castles were needed to protect kingdoms and towns. Small towns and forts often have walls that are made of thick wooden poles. Fortified castles, which is basically a fortified palace, was needed to protect the king and all the royalty. It is often also the place of meetings and such. Only great cities build big, stone walls all the way around. I'm assuming they would only build such a large project if they were in fear of an enemy and wanted security.
There is nothing different between todays castles and medieval time castles. Today's castles were built in medieval times.
