Like you said, knights and whatev live in there, not peasants. Early medieval castles were like that. They had a fortification in the center for the captain or lord, then his personal servants and men at arms lived behind a wall around the center. Not all castles are those grand keeps with many towers and layers of walls you know. Ok, but I dont think "castle" would refer to a whole village, would it? In the medieval era, small villages were usually included in a castle, renaissance castles were usually designed as houses for the lords.
