What is recorded here

St Donats Castle, Outbuilding stands in the Vale of Glamorgan as a Post Medieval structure, recorded nationally but still keeping its own private distance. It may have served the castle in ways no longer visible, perhaps storing tools, housing workers or shielding people from weather. The main castle takes the praise, yet this smaller building sustained the larger one.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Donats Castle, Outbuilding as Outbuilding from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

St Donats Castle, including its outbuilding, was originally built in the 13th century by the de Spensers, later held by the Vaughan family, and significantly expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is important as a historic seat of the influential Vaughan family and as an example of medieval and later architectural development in Wales.
