Why did William I build castles?
William the I built them to protect his army, he built 500 castles made of wood, and when he had total control of England and the opposition was destroyed, he replaced these wooden castles with stronger, more stable stone castles. William the Conqueror built castles to protect him and his men from attack by the Anglo-Saxons he had beaten in battle of Hastings. During the first few years he spent over ruling the English he ordered 500 castles to be built. These were of the Motte and Bailey variety which is a bailey (wooden stronghold) on top of a motte (man-made hill.) Once the country was totally under his control and all of his opposition were crushed, that's when he then he replaced the "temporary" castles with more permanent stone structures. Most of these can still be visited today. Also he needed it to show the people of England that he was in control.

Stone castles already existed in Normandy and France at the time of the Norman conquest of England, but in view of the need to rapidly subdue the land and its population most of the castles built under William I were of earth and timber. A few stone castles, or stone donjons (towers) within earth ramparts, were constructed immediately, however - one of the earliest was William's palace at London which later became "The Tower of London".The White Tower (Tower of London) was begun in 1077, but the Normans had already begun construction of a stone donjon at Chepstow in Gwent, Wales, in 1072 - this may have been the earliest in Britain.
