This isn't really a castle, but it could be the full beginnings of one. I'm not sure who put this site together, but the construction photos are great. Take a look at how the "ruins" were built and put together. The construction of the spiral staircase is great to see, and pretty much how you'd do it yourself if you weren't using cut stone. The arch supports that held up the stone and brickwork during construction is precisely what you see in some of the construction photos over at castlemagic.com. Seeing the progress of the construction is great; while this is a simplification , you'd obviously need to take all of the other parts of homebuilding into consideration such as plumbing, code, and such, this is pretty much how one would go about building a castle with a spiral staircase and arched doorways.
EDIT: I discovered that the site owner builds beautiful suits of armor.
