Normans built square keep castles using a combination of stone and timber, with a focus on defensive architecture. They began by constructing a strong, square stone foundation, which provided stability and protection. The keep often included thick walls, narrow windows, and a central courtyard, designed for both living quarters and defense. This design allowed for effective control of the surrounding area and served as a refuge during attacks.
