What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Rhayader Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Rhayader Castle was built by the Normans in the 12th or 13th century, likely as a strategic stronghold to control the River Irfon and surrounding region. It is remembered for its historical role in the defense and administration of the Welsh Marches.
