Castles were often built at crossroads to guard important or strategic sites.

Castles were built at crossroads to provide defense, control trade routes, facilitate communication, support local settlements, and establish political power. Their strategic locations allowed lords to monitor movements, collect taxes, and respond to threats effectively. Thus, these castles not only served military purposes but also contributed to the growth of towns and stability in the region.
