Stone was used whilst building a Norman castle because of these reasons: * Stone's strong * Stone's hard to set on fire * Stone doesn't rot Before stone castles were built the Normans used Motte and Bailey castles which were made out of wood. Wood is the complete opposite to all the bullet points above.
