What is recorded here

Wenvoe Castle rose in the 1770s when Peter Birt demolished a rambling predecessor to build a Georgian Gothic mansion with octagonal towers. Visitors called it charming bad taste or handsome commodious, proving the house demanded a decision rather than passive admiration. Fire consumed most of that bold structure in the early twenty-first century, leaving only a pavilion and stable block to mark the hill where medieval walls also crumbled.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Wenvoe Castle as House from the 18th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
