Montgomery Castle (2) is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps stones still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe shadow and rain have worn the edges smooth. Imagine a room where breath still moves though no door opens.
A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.
Built by the de Montgomerie family in the late 11th century, Montgomery Castle was a key stronghold in the Norman conquest of Wales. It is remembered for its strategic role in controlling the Welsh Marches and for the historic Siege of Montgomery during the English Civil War.
