Llandovery Castle is a historic fortress located in the town of Llandovery, Wales. The castle dates back to the 12th century and was originally built as a motte and bailey castle by the Normans. Over the centuries, the castle underwent several renovations and expansions, including the addition of a stone keep in the 13th century.
The castle played an important role in Welsh history, serving as a stronghold for the Welsh princes during the Wars of Welsh Independence in the 13th and 14th centuries. It was also the site of several battles during the English Civil War in the 17th century.
Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for exploration. Visitors can explore the castle's ruins, including the remains of the keep, the gatehouse, and the walls. The castle also offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Brecon Beacons National Park.
In addition to its historical significance, Llandovery Castle is also known for its ghostly legends. According to local folklore, the castle is haunted by the ghost of a woman who was murdered there in the 17th century. Visitors to the castle have reported hearing strange noises and feeling a sense of unease in certain areas of the ruins.
Overall, Llandovery Castle is a fascinating glimpse into Welsh history and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in medieval architecture and Welsh folklore.
