What is recorded here

The Sanctuary stands at 74 Castle Street in Loughor, a Post Medieval dwelling that still belongs to the living town rather than a museum case. It may have sheltered ordinary people, hosted quiet conversations or hidden small joys inside its walls. The house remains a private residence, not a public exhibit, but its address and age are clear enough to remember.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records The Sanctuary, Loughor; 74 Castle Street, Loughor as Dwelling 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.

The Sanctuary in Loughor was built in the early 16th century by Sir William Herbert, later 1st Earl of Pembroke, as a fortified manor house. It is important as a rare example of early Tudor military architecture in Wales and reflects the strategic significance of the Loughor area during the period of English expansion into the region.
