Shell keep castles, also known as shell keeps, offer several advantages such as providing a strong defensive structure with thick walls and a central keep for protection. They also offer a commanding view of the surrounding area, allowing defenders to spot potential threats from a distance. However, shell keeps can be expensive and time-consuming to build due to the large amount of stone required for construction. Additionally, their open design can make them more vulnerable to siege tactics such as undermining or scaling the walls.
