Montgomery Castle is a historic fortress located in the town of Montgomery, Wales. The castle dates back to the 13th century and was built by Roger de Mortimer, a powerful Marcher Lord. The castle was strategically placed on a hill overlooking the town and the surrounding countryside, providing a commanding view of the area.
The castle was originally built as a motte and bailey structure, with a large wooden keep and defensive walls. However, in the 1220s, the castle was rebuilt in stone, with a new keep and curtain walls. The castle was further expanded in the 14th century, with the addition of a gatehouse and a new tower.
Throughout its history, Montgomery Castle played an important role in the conflicts between the Welsh and English. The castle was captured by the Welsh in 1402 during the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr, but was later retaken by the English. During the English Civil War, the castle was held by the Royalists and was besieged by the Parliamentarians. The castle was eventually surrendered in 1644 and was partially destroyed to prevent it from being used again.
Today, Montgomery Castle is a popular tourist attraction and is managed by Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service. Visitors can explore the ruins of the castle, including the keep, gatehouse, and towers. The castle offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is a popular spot for picnics and walks. The castle is also used for events and performances throughout the year, including outdoor theatre and music concerts.
