because they have different people in charge of different castles and one persons idea was the best so castles changed for ever.
Many castles had moats, steep embankments or other natural defenses. Castle defense was often a matter of waiting out the attackers - many castles had their own water supply. Artillery, which could destroy walls, made castles obsolete.
Medieval castles were usually made of stone, often held together with mortar. Some castles were made of wood, and earth was also used in the construction of some castle defenses and walls.
The castles were shaped like circles, instead of squares because circles were harder to climb. The castle defenses also helped protect the people in the castle.
motte and bailey, stone keep castles and concentric castles
the first kind of castles were moat and bailey castles.
Castles usually have a mote, towers, and long halls. They also have special defenses inside and outside of the structure.
castles changed because as weapons advanced castles needed stronger defenses so they became bigger and better like one of the first castles was the motte and bailey witch was made out of wood, that changed into a concentric castle with two walls, a moat, a portcullise, a babbican and a draw bridge!
No, concentric castles were built after stone keep castles.
