What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Newcastle Castle, Bridgend 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.
Newcastle Castle, Bridgend was built in the late 12th or early 13th century, likely by the de Braose family, powerful Marcher lords in south Wales. It is remembered as part of the network of castles used to control the Welsh Marches and suppress local resistance during the Norman conquest of Wales.
