Were castles stone buildings used for protection in the middle ages?
Castles were not always stone, but were always fortified for protection. Early on in the Middle Ages, they were made of wood and earthworks; they could be built quickly and inexpensively, but they did not last very long and were easier to defeat than later castles. The later castles were usually made of stone, and were stronger. Where stone was not available, brick was often used, and where a castle was needed in a hurry, the old wood work could still be used. I think the Wikipedia article on castles is a pretty good source of information. There is a link to it below.
