That depends! The castle, one of Europe's largest and most impressive was under continuous construction for nearly 230 years! The castle complex is actually three castles combined, with the first brick being laid in the year 1274 when the Teutonic Knights first arrived in Prussia at the request of the Prussian Royal family to help convert the pagan tribes in the area to Christianity.
The castle as we recognize it today was finished sometime in the mid-fifteenth century, but largely destroyed (roughly 50%!) during WWII, and finally restored throughout the 1950's. Malbork is presently enjoying a much more peaceful existence as one of Poland's top tourist destinations and a cardinal source of pride for the Polish people.

The Matsumoto Castle is the national treasure of Japan. The castles construction began in 1590 and ended in 1594. It took four years to build.
Just as the case of many others, there is no record of the construction of Warkworth Castle. We believe it is dated from the middle of the 11th century, but do not have any idea how long it took to build.
Construction on Bodiam Castle was begun in 1385, and the castle was built rather quickly, in a single effort. It was completed before the owner died in 1395, and is thought to have been completed in about 1392.
Chepstow Castle was built in fits and starts over the period of 1067 to 1300. I did not find any record that indicate how much of this time was actually spent on construction, but the impression I get is that it was not much more than 20 or 25 years.

From what I can gather, there are no records of Goodrich Castle being built. It is dated as late 11th or early 12th century, but we cannot know how long it took to build.
