Henry Ford's right hand man had uneven steps in his home as a defense mechanism. he fell down them and died while drunk (apparently this is urban legend)
I think they do that in castles steps as well. To slow down invading.
I think they did that in castles, because it's generally pretty hard to build castles. If the enemy is inside the walls you are practically done anyway.
