A Norman stone keep castle is a type of fortification built in the 11th and 12th centuries, characterized by its large, rectangular stone keep, which served as the primary living quarters and a stronghold for the lord and his family. These castles were often constructed on high ground for strategic defense and featured thick walls, narrow windows, and a central courtyard. The design reflects the Norman architectural style and was instrumental in establishing control over conquered territories in England and parts of France after the Norman Conquest. Examples include the Tower of London and the castle at Dover.
