Yes and no. Certain regions or countries do have particular styles, mostly in their keeps, towers or roofs, although these styles change over time as well as the needs and owners of the castle change. Many have been rebuilt or remodeled multiple times. Castles don't really follow architecture norms, especially medieval ones which are often described as gothic. Moving into more modern times, architectural styles do come into play, especially in the UK. Gothic Revival, Tudor, Victorian, Scottish Baronial are a few. If you browse r/castles regularly you'll get a better idea and will probably be able to recognize generally where a castle is located by its appearance, but not always. Nobles and royals from one country will visit another then copy something they saw that they liked. And then there are "mock" castles built by wealthy "commoners" just for their style and status, quite common in the UK and US. I'm no authority but hope this helps.

Keep in mind that this castle was built (technically rebuilt with some parts of the old castle) between 1874 and 1906. It' basically a rich man's fantasy castle "cobbled" together from different parts.
