When was the end of castles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Castle building for military reasonscame to an end at about 1500because of gunpowder and explosives being invented.

When guns, cannons, howitzers, artillery and bombs became powerful enough to destroy any built structure, the castles became pointless from a military perspective.

Castles kept being built every now and then mainly for propaganda and/or romantic reasons. If you're a country, it can be good to show that you're wealthy enough to afford to build something huge and impressive, even if it isn't that useful any more.

The "king" was the strongest person in the area so he controlled the area from a protective castle. Until someone stronger came along he would be king. These people did not control vast areas, but small sections and they owned their power to a man with more power.

How did the materials castles were made out of change?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Norman castles changed from Motte and Bailey castles which were made out of wood to Stone Keep castles made out of stone. They changed the castles in this way because of these reasons: * Stones stronger than wood * Stone, unlike wood, doesn't burn * Wood rots withing a few years but Stone will last for centuries * Stone Keep castles had higher up walls meaning that attackers couldn't fire arrows at them * Stone Keep castles had really tall towers that the defenders of the castles could easily fire off, but there's no way that the attackers would be able to fire up at them
