What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Builth Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Builth Castle was built by the Normans in the 11th century, likely under the authority of Robert of Rhuddlan, to control the strategic crossing point of the River Irfon. It is remembered for its role in the Norman conquest of mid-Wales and its association with the powerful de Braose family.
