What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Neath 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.
Neath Castle was built in the 13th century by Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, and later held by the powerful de Clare family. It is important as a key medieval stronghold in South Wales and as a symbol of the struggle between Norman lords and Welsh princes.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
