All castles that exist today are made from stone because stone lasts for a long time. In total there were three types of castles: Stone Keep castles (Stone castles), Motte and Bailey castles and Concentric castles. The Stone Keep castles were made out of stone along with the Concentric Castles and still stand to this day as great monuments. The Motte and Bailey castles, however were made out of wood and have all rotted away to leave none left standing today.

∙ 12y agoAbout a 1000 years ago they were made of wood and could be burned down. When gunpowder came to Europe wooden castles were not strong enough so stone was used. The stone came from the area around the castle or had to be brought in by river, sea, or land. Because of this many different stones were used. In some castles colored plaster was also applied to the outside walls.

Stone castles were built of the best-quality stone available to be transported to the site as affordably as possible. The type of stone could vary region by region.
