	The development of gunpowder-based artillery in the 14th century gradually affected castle design as it provided the means to breakthrough thick masonry walls. This made castles undesirable places to live, and as a result, they went into decline, although they continued to be built right up to the 16th century. Eventually, they were replaced by fortresses which had a purely defensive role with no civil administration functions. Castles then became more important as residences which could also express the power and prestige of the occupant. Eventually, castles morphed into country houses and stately homes.
