Monmouth Castle

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Monmouth 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.

Monmouth Castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century by the Normans, likely under the authority of Robert, Count of Mortain, to control the strategically important River Wye crossing. It is remembered for its role in several key events of the Norman conquest of Wales and as a site of significance during the Welsh rebellions of the 13th and 14th centuries.
