What is recorded here

St Fagans Castle Dovecot stands in Cardiff, Wales, as a Post Medieval structure recorded in the national monument register. Rows of tiny chambers once held doves for castle kitchens, turning air and seed into measurable wealth. The building still suggests that busy life, with birds clicking in dark holes and people climbing ladders to collect eggs.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records St Fagans Castle Dovecot as Dovecote 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 Fagans Castle Dovecot was built in the 16th or 17th century, likely by the influential Glamorgan gentry, and is associated with the nearby St Fagans Castle. It is remembered as an example of post-medieval domestic architecture and the importance of dovecotes in supplying food to noble households.
