the word "keep" (related to buildings)

Hi everyone.

I'd like to know if the word "keep" is related to buildings vocabulary. I mean, is there a part of a building called "Keep"? if there is , can someone explain me!

Thank you ever so much.

In old castles, I think a "keep" was similar (or the same as) a dungeon. But that word isn't needed much nowadays. Does this help?

'Keep' is an archaic word mainly related to castles, which themselves are archaic buildings today. The 'keep' is, or was, the most secure and strongest place inside
