| I know that the Keep is the main residence of the King/Lord of the land, but during war, did they convert the great hall into a meeting room or something? |

castles typically didn't have great halls.
they were impractical.
during a siege they stored as many people and as much food as humanely possible in the castle. |

| I am building a raid-able castle. I don't understand what I should place in the keep. I feel like a kitchen and great hall and chapel would all be out of place in a raid-able castle. What was actually in castles? |

in war, there was nothing aesthetic.
put a whole lot of weapons laying around, a whole lot of food, a lot of construction supplies, maybe some makeshift shacks that would serve as extra rooms for soldiers, etc. |

Place the peasant villages surrounding the castle walls. Add a moat. One gate. Archer's windows etc.
On the inside make sure that the gate hallway is very thin so you may choke them. For the keep, just keep weaponry and such. Also some ballista. |

| I think I am going to do a mix of both to decorate it a little. |

| Did the upper floors of a castle have stone or wood floors? |
