It's a beautiful building but I wouldn't have said it's a castle more a big house

From this view maybe but it is definitely a castle with a moat, a tower and everything.Β

Yes. Many castles changed their use over their lifetime because they became less and less useful in the face of developing weapons.Β
In England many were partially destroyed in the Civil War too.Β
