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.
How old are Stone Keep Castles?
Stone Keep castles (Stone castles) are quite a few centuries old. They were built in the 11th century by King William I (William the conqueror) not long after he took over Britain after the battle of hastings. Stone castles however, weren't the first castles William built in Britain. He first built Motte and Bailey castles. The reasons for this were that they were cheap and easy to build as they were made out of wood. He decided to build Stone castles to replace many of the Motte and Bailey castles for many reasons including these: * Stone castles don't burn * Stone castles don't rot within a few years but will carry on standing for centuries to come * Stone castles were heavier, making them much stronger
