What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hay 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.

Hay Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Say family, later held by the powerful Mortimer family, and is remembered for its strategic role in controlling the borderlands between England and Wales. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval border castle and for its historical association with key figures in the Wars of the Roses.
