The two terms are not interchangeable. This soapbox is intended to help 你 learn to tell the difference if 你 can't already.
The primary difference is in architecture. Castles were built as forts; they have narrow windows, drawbridges, murder holes, etc. Dover 城堡 is an excellent example. Palaces were built as places of residence so they tend to be much 更多 sprawling and lacking in drawbridges and barbicans.
Another difference is in location. Palaces were not built in hostile territory since they were intended to be residences whereas castles were used as outposts from which a lord could exercise control of the surrounding territory.
Castles and palaces could either be built in a city- like the one in Canterbury- 或者 in 更多 remote locations. What person doesn't like to have a place (or several) to retreat to when they need a break from things?
Hopefully this rather short soapbox has been useful!
