What is recorded here

Remains of Montgomery Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the broken stones still hold the shape of rooms where people argued, loved or waited for news. Maybe the hill kept the castle alive long after the walls fell, carrying its outline into memory and weather.

A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.

Built by Roger de Montgomery in the late 11th century, Montgomery Castle was a key Norman stronghold in the Welsh Marches. It is remembered for its strategic role in controlling the border region between England and Wales and for the infamous massacre of its garrison in 1102.
