What is recorded here
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Tretower 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.
Tretower Castle was built in the late 13th or early 14th century by the de Clavering family, a prominent Norman lineage in the Welsh Marches. It is remembered as a well-preserved example of a medieval Marcher lord's castle and is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument managed by Cadw.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
