What is recorded here

Keep and gatehouse - Dolforwyn Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the gatehouse stood guard over a valley road while the keep watched the sky for smoke. Maybe travellers paid coin or shared news before passing through its doors. Imagine the stones still holding the shape of hands that opened and closed the gate.

Dolforwyn Castle was built by Llywelyn the Great, the Prince of Gwynedd, in the early 13th century as part of his efforts to consolidate power in central Wales. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold and a symbol of Welsh resistance during the medieval period.
