White Castle, Llantilio; Llantilio Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

White Castle rose from earth and timber in the Monnow valley shortly after the Norman invasion of England in 1066, guarding the route to Hereford before stone walls transformed it into a martial masterpiece. King Stephen later grouped it with Grosmont and Skenfrith into the Three Castles, while Hubert de Burgh and rival families contested its red sandstone chambers until Edward I's conquest stripped it of purpose. The ruins still hold the shape of that violent border, preserving the moment when human ambition hardened into stone before decay reclaimed the march.
