Scholars debate the scope of the word castle<\/i>, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace<\/a>, which is not fortified; from a fortress, which was not always a residence for nobility; and from a fortified settlement, which was a public defence\u00a0\u2013 though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Usage of the term has varied over time and has been applied to structures as diverse as hill forts<\/a> and country houses. Over the approximately 900\u00a0years that castles were built, they took on a great many forms with many different features, although some, such as curtain walls<\/a> and arrowslits<\/a>, were commonplace.<\/p>\n A European innovation, castles originated in the 9th\u00a0and 10th\u00a0centuries, after the fall of the Carolingian Empire<\/a> resulted in its territory being divided among individual lords and princes. These nobles built castles to control the area immediately surrounding them, and were both offensive and defensive structures; they provided a base from which raids could be launched as well as protection from enemies. Although their military origins are often emphasised in castle studies, the structures also served as centres of administration and symbols of power. Urban castles were used to control the local populace and important travel routes, and rural castles were often situated near features that were integral to life in the community, such as mills and fertile land.<\/p>\n Many castles were originally built from earth and timber, but had their defences replaced later by stone. Early castles often exploited natural defences, and lacked features such as towers and arrowslits and relied on a central keep<\/a>. In the late 12th\u00a0and early 13th\u00a0centuries, a scientific approach to castle defence emerged. This led to the proliferation of towers, with an emphasis on flanking fire<\/a>. Many new castles were polygonal or relied on concentric defence\u00a0\u2013 several stages of defence within each other that could all function at the same time to maximise the castle’s firepower. These changes in defence have been attributed to a mixture of castle technology from the Crusades<\/a>, such as concentric fortification<\/a>, and inspiration from earlier defences such as Roman forts<\/a>. Not all the elements of castle architecture were military in nature, and devices such as moats<\/a> evolved from their original purpose of defence into symbols of power. Some grand castles had long winding approaches intended to impress and dominate their landscape.<\/p>\n Although gunpowder<\/a> was introduced to Europe in the 14th\u00a0century, it did not significantly affect castle building until the 15th\u00a0century, when artillery became powerful enough to break through stone walls. While castles continued to be built well into the 16th\u00a0century, new techniques to deal with improved cannon fire made them uncomfortable and undesirable places to live. As a result, true castles went into decline and were replaced by artillery forts with no role in civil administration, and country houses that were indefensible. From the 18th\u00a0century onwards, there was a renewed interest in castles with the construction of mock castles, part of a romantic<\/a> revival of Gothic architecture<\/a>, but they had no military purpose.” (Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n Loire Valley “castles”<\/p>\n Pink Castle Fabrics<\/p>\n Blarney Castle<\/p>\n Castle Heavy Metal Band<\/p>\n North of Manhattan, the Castle<\/em> Hotel & Spa sits majestically overlooking the Hudson River on sprawling acres of manicured gardens, etc Durham Castle<\/p>\n White Castle – the first hamburger chain, started in 1921<\/span><\/p>\n Castle<\/em> is a Chicago nightclub and multi-venue home to weekly shows from global superstar DJs and a premier private event space in the heart of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n Edinburgh Castle<\/p>\n Boston University’s historic Castle<\/em> is an extraordinary Tudor Revival mansion on Bay State Road<\/span><\/p>\n Castle Crashers – website for the award winning 2D arcade adventure from The Behemoth! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post.
