What invention ended the building of castles?
Castle building for military reasonscame to an end because of gunpowder and explosives being invented. When guns, cannons, howitzers, artillery and bombs became powerful enough to destroy any built structure, the castles became pointless from a military perspective. Castles kept being built every now and then mainly for propaganda and/or romantic reasons. If you're a country, it can be good to show that you're wealthy enough to afford to build something huge and impressive, even if it isn't that useful any more.
