Best Answer

Because they had better defenses than the Motte and Bailey castles and the Norman Keep Towers.

  • They had many walls that the enemy had to get past. Some could have been up to 20 feet thick.
  • They were made of stone so they could not be burnt down
  • The towers were round so they had no corners to mine under
  • They were big, so people could actually live comfortably in them and it made them intimidating

Also, people had to keep on building better castles and better weapons were made.

Concentric castles were built for better protection against the enemy. They were normal stone keep castles with lots of walls around them so it was harder for the enemy to break in.
