A castle is a type of fortress built during the middle ages, especially by nobles or royalty and by military orders. Scholars debate the scope of the term castle, but it generally refers it to be the private fortress residence of a lord king or a nobleman.
A castle is a large building structure built with thick and high walls. Castles were built by important people, such as kings, in ancient times, especially for protection during wars and battles.
The three main types of castles used in the Middle Ages were motte-and-bailey, stone keep, and concentric castles.
