Up until gun powder was invented castles were great. They could hold off an army and withstand attacks of various sorts, but when gun powder came along that changed things. Now, people who defended castles found that instead of just getting groups of men trying to breach the walls all they had to do was blow a hole in the wall and walk right into the castle. That made the castle out of date for war and defense.
