to protect the people inside the castle
Stone keep castles were typically made out of local stone, such as limestone or sandstone, that was readily available in the surrounding area. These stones were quarried and then used to construct the walls, towers, and keep of the castle for defensive purposes.
You must first build a university and research "chemistry" costing 300 food and 200 gold. After researching chemistry, there will be a new tech avaliable called "bombard towers", costing 800 food and 400 stone. Research bombard towers and you will be able to create bombard towers for 125 stone and 100 gold. Keep in mind, NOT all civilizations can make bombard towers, such as the Mongols, Aztecs, Huns, Goths and Mayans.

Stone keep castles were used as fortified residences for nobility, providing both a defensible stronghold and a symbol of power and status. They served as centers of governance, offering protection for the ruling elite and their belongings during times of conflict. Additionally, they were used as a display of authority over the surrounding land and population.
Castles usually have a mote, towers, and long halls. They also have special defenses inside and outside of the structure.
What the great towers were called were keepers or keep (s)
· A stone castle would not rot whereas a Motte and Bailey would rot easily as it was made from wood. · Motte and Bailey castles could be knocked down with battering rams, but they would not penetrate a stone castle. · Stone castles had battlements which gave defenders something solid to hide behind, Motte and Bailey had no such thing. · The round towers on a stone castle were thought to bounce of any type of missile but they would destroy a stone keep. · Motte and Bailey castles were very prone to rotting and decay, but Stone castles would not rot or decay. · Stone Keeps could not be burnt down very easily as they were made of stone whereas Motte and Bailey castles could be incinerated very easily as they were made of wood. · Stone castles have high up towers enabling the defenders to fire arrows down at the enemy but the enemy could not fire back, Motte and Bailey castles do not have high enough towers to do this.
This is because the keep itself is made out of Stone. they were built in medieval times.
