I don't think so. A castle isn't usually of Christian architecture. In addition, this building is later than what's considered early Christian.

Answer 5

Christian architechure differs from the Roman and Greek styles by the provision of a basilical space, ie, a large central vein running the length of the building.

Islamic architecture differs only from Christian in that it features no images, only geometric patterns, often on walls, floors, and ceilings, and often these are in complex mosaic tiles.
