What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Painscastle as Town from the General period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Painscastle was built by the de Braose family in the 13th century and later held by the Mortimer family, playing a strategic role in controlling the Welsh Marches. It is remembered for its historical significance in medieval border conflicts between England and Wales.
