Castles are typically large, fortified structures with thick stone walls, towers, and battlements. They often have a central keep or stronghold surrounded by walls and sometimes a moat. Castles can vary in architectural style depending on the time period and region in which they were built.

In 1264, Warwick Castle was a predominantly wooden structure, with a motte-and-bailey design featuring a wooden palisade and tower. It did not have the stone fortifications that it has today. The castle would have been smaller in scale compared to its later expansions and renovations.

You can find existing castles in many different countries The castles that are still standing today are all stone castles as the earlier Motte and Bailey castles are made out of wood and would have rotted down.

A stone keep refers to a castle that is built of stone. Using stone allows for castles to be build higher than with wood and also prevented against fire.

King Luwig II

they were quite successful in protecting those inside

# They don't burn easily # They don't rot easily # They are big # They are strong # The walls are a few meters thick # Stone is heavy, therefore not enabling attackers to dislodge big pieces in order to break in # People could climb the motte or palisade and jump the ditch. # A Motte and bailey castle is smaller ( too small for kings and queens ) # A Motte and bailey castle is built on a big mound of ground ( take up space ) # Jump in the motte and bailey ditch ( attackers get in without hurting themselves )

Stone Keep castles (Stone castles) are quite a few centuries old. They were built in the 11th century by King William I (William the conqueror) not long after he took over Britain after the battle of hastings. Stone castles however, weren't the first castles William built in Britain. He first built Motte and Bailey castles. The reasons for this were that they were cheap and easy to build as they were made out of wood. He decided to build Stone castles to replace many of the Motte and Bailey castles for many reasons including these: * Stone castles don't burn * Stone castles don't rot within a few years but will carry on standing for centuries to come * Stone castles were heavier, making them much stronger

lots of diferent castles are still standing now.

The first castle in Europe was the Motte and bailey castle. It was first built in Normandy, France. It was built in 1051.
