I'm kinda stuck i need to know what kind of things belong in castles. I know that there needs to be a blacksmith, stables, storage, well, great hall, church.

The answer depends very much on what kind of castle you do have in mind. For ordinary castles (not royal residences), start with the things an ordinary farmhouse would need: stables for horses and other animals, storage room for food, firewood and working gear, a water supply, a kitchen, a fireplace, a garden, sleepingrooms, etc. On top of that come the luxuries of a nobleman's home: residential room (often, but not always a hall), chapell, maybe a proper toilet, weapons, animals for hunting, rooms for the servants, etc.

All times are PT (US)
