Keep and gatehouse - Dolforwyn Castle

Dolforwyn Castle was built by Llewelwyn ap Gruffudd, Prince of Gwynedd, between 1273 and 1277 as a rival to King Edward's castle across the River Severn in Montgomery. The castle fell to Edward in his first Welsh campaign in 1277 and passed to the Mortimers. The castle fell out of use in the 15th Century. A new settlement 'Newtown' was developed replacing the old town.
