Warwick Castle was rebuilt in stone primarily for reasons of defense and status during the 12th century. The original wooden fortifications were vulnerable to attack, so the stone structure provided greater security against invaders. Additionally, a stone castle symbolized wealth and power, reflecting the status of the earls of Warwick. This transformation from wood to stone marked the castle's evolution into a formidable stronghold and a prominent seat of nobility.
