Japanese CastleJapanese castles are built mostly of wood and stone. Castles in Japan were built to guard important or strategic sites, such as
ports, river crossings, or crossroads, and almost always incorporated the landscape into their defense. |
English CastleThe first English castles began to appear about a thousand years ago. They were built to Viking raids, French invasions, Scottish raids and importantly, to show England its own magnificence. That's one of the main reasons why William the Conqueror ordered The Tower of London built.
