What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Caergwrle 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.
Caergwrle Castle was built in the 13th century by Llywelyn the Great, King of Gwynedd, as a strategic stronghold in the Welsh Marches. It is remembered as an example of early Welsh royal military architecture and as a symbol of Welsh resistance during the medieval period.
