Not always, rarely even. The keep is usually a strong central tower, which the defending forces can retreat to if the outer walls are breached. Construction of a castle would usually involve a basic palisade wall while the keep is being built, the main wall constructed afterwards.
As an example, the White Tower is the keep at the Tower of London, it is in the middle of the structure, not attached to any of the walls.
A castle always has defensive features, such as thick walls and towers, designed to protect against invaders. It typically includes a central courtyard or keep, which serves as the living quarters for the lord and his family. Additionally, castles often have a gatehouse for controlled entry and may feature a moat for added security.

There are several types of castles. Some features that might be included in a castle (though not all castles would have each of these): A motte, or flat-topped mound of earth; this could be a natural hill or constructed by moving in dirt to form it Curtain walls, walls built to enclose an area of land A bailey, the area of land so enclosed (not actually a "building") A keep/tower/donjon, a fortified residence/barracks/headquarters A gatehouse, a strong point designed to protect the entrance A barbican, a defensive point just outside the gatehouse
