What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Loughor 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.
Loughor Castle was built in the late 13th century by Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, as part of the English conquest of South Wales. It is important as a key example of early English military architecture in Wales and played a strategic role in controlling the region during the medieval period.
