MenuMontgomery Castle, Montgomeryshire
Montgomery Castle (Welsh: Castell Trefaldwyn) is a ruined Norman castle at Montgomery, Montgomeryshire. It was built from 1223 on the orders of Henry III in response to the growing power of Welsh native prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. This new stone fortress was significantly sturdier and more sophisticated than the timber fort Hen Domen (to the north) that it replaced. The castle remained in use for centuries, surviving attacks by Llywelyn in 1228 and 1231 and Llywelyn’s son Dafydd in 1245. The castle’s ultimate end came during the Civil War, when it fell to the Parliamentarians and was demolished in 1649. The monument is in the care of Cadw. It is within the council area of Powys.
