Loving all the grand houses :)
A Manor House is where the local landed gentry (Lord of The Manor) would live and the estate would be the land he owned around it - it would have small holdings/farms and cottages let out to locals. He would have an estate manager who would handle this.
A castle is as others have said for protection, a fortification.
A palace is a grand home for royalty/dukes etc people of high birth, or for high ranking church officials such as the Archbishop of Canterbury (such as Lambeth Palace is).
