Why were the castles built along the Rhine River?

1. easy access to water for the residents

2. in medieval times land transport was inefficient - the roads were usually poor, unpaved and carts could carry small quantities of goods. being located next to a river meant supplies could be transported by ships/boats - they carry more cargo more effectively.

3. protection - if one side of the castle was built along the bank of the river, approaching the castle from this direction would be difficult. The enemy must cross the river slowly in boats, while coming under fire from the soldiers in the castle.

Why were Motte and Bailey castles replaced?

Not all of theMotte and Bailey castles were replaced, in fact, most of them weren't replaced but were left to rot. The Motte and Bailey castles that did get replaced were done so by Stone Keep castles (Stone castles). These castles were made out of stone (unsurprisingly) but the Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood. The reasons that some of the Motte and Bailey castles got replaced were that they weren't very strong, they rot within a few years and that they burn easily. The Stone Keep castles were the complete opposite of this.
