What is recorded here
Powis Castle was built by the Welsh princes of Powys in the 13th century and later held by the Clwyd family, becoming a significant medieval stronghold. It is important as a well-preserved example of Welsh castle architecture and as a symbol of the region's complex history of Welsh and English influence.
