Castle

What is recorded here

Beaumaris Castle stands on Ynys Môn / Isle of Anglesey, its stones marking a place where human hands shaped the landscape long before today. The castle may have served as a home, a fortress or a symbol of power, depending on the era and the people who controlled it. Whatever its exact purpose, it still belongs to the island and invites imagination about the lives that moved through it.
Castell Beaumaris Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Ynys Môn / Isle of Anglesey. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Castell Beaumaris Castle was built by King Edward I of England between 1295 and 1330 as part of his campaign to subdue Wales. It is important as one of the last and most ambitious of the Welsh castles, symbolizing English dominance and military architecture in the late medieval period.
