Montgomery Castle

The building of Montgomery Castle commenced in around 1223 on the orders of Henry III in response to the growing power of Welsh native prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth (Llywelyn the Great), the stone castle replaced a nearby wooden fort known as Hen Domen.
The castle survived attacks by Llywelyn in 1228 and 1231 and Llywelyn’s son Dafydd in 1245. During the English Civil War it fell to the Parliamentarians and was demolished in 1649.
The site is owned by Cadw and is free to visit.
