The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Cricieth; Criccieth 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.
Criccieth Castle was built by Llywelyn the Great, ruler of Gwynedd, in the early 13th century. It is important as a key example of Welsh medieval military architecture and as a symbol of the struggle between Welsh princes and English expansion.
