Motte and bailey
Stone castles
The castle fortress
The first castles were wooden
towers on hills, called mottes.
Each motte had a fenced yard
around it, called a bailey.
Wooden castles could easily catch
fire, so stone castles were built next.
The walls were very thick.
As castles grew bigger, they
needed more workers. Soon,
castles were like mini-towns.
THE KEEP
The tower in the
center of a castle
is called a keep.
