Hawarden Castle is a historic fortress located in the small village of Ewloe, in the county of Flintshire, Wales. The castle dates back to the 13th century and was originally built as a defensive structure to protect the Welsh border from English invaders. Over the centuries, the castle has undergone several renovations and expansions, and today it stands as a magnificent example of medieval architecture.
The castle is surrounded by a moat and a curtain wall, which encloses the inner bailey. The main entrance to the castle is through a gatehouse, which is flanked by two towers. The gatehouse leads to a courtyard, which was once the center of the castle's daily life. The courtyard is surrounded by a range of buildings, including a great hall, a chapel, and various domestic buildings.
The great hall is the most impressive building in the castle. It is a large, rectangular room with a high, vaulted ceiling and a raised dais at one end. The hall was used for feasting, dancing, and other social events, and it was also the place where the lord of the castle held court.
The chapel is a small, simple building located in the southeast corner of the castle. It was used for religious services and was an important part of daily life in the castle. The chapel has a simple altar and a few wooden benches for the congregation.
The domestic buildings in the castle include kitchens, storerooms, and living quarters for the castle's inhabitants. These buildings are located along the walls of the inner bailey and are connected by a series of corridors and staircases.
Overall, Hawarden Castle is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a testament to the skill and ingenuity of medieval builders. Although it is no longer used as a fortress, it remains an important part of Welsh history and culture.
