Castles were built for protection of people and animals. They began as wooden compounds called " mote and Bailey." The mote was a hill and the Bailey part was the buildings. The first ones were wooden and it wasn't until gunpowder came along they became stone. The existing mote and Bailey often built a stone face in front of the wooden walls so when an attacker wanted to take the castle he thought it was stone. The castle also provided the owner with a powerful reputation in the lands he controlled.
Castles were built out of stones or bricks.

Medieval castles were built for protection and not for comfort. The first castles were built using wood but, were found to burn easily. Stone was then used in replacement of wood.
