What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Margam Castle as Recorded historic place from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Margam Castle was built in the late 13th century by the de Clares, a powerful Norman family in Glamorgan, and later held by the Earls of Plymouth. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval manor house and for its historical association with the influential Margam estate.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
