Castell Gwyn, which translates to "White Castle" in English, is a historic site located in Wales and is a motte-and-bailey castle located near the village of Llantilio Crossenny in Monmouthshire, Wales.
This castle dates back to the Norman period, likely built in the late 11th or early 12th century. Motte-and-bailey castles were a common feature of Norman military architecture in Wales and England during this time.
Castell Gwyn consists of a motte, which is a raised earthwork mound, and a bailey, which is an enclosed courtyard. These types of castles were strategic strongholds used by the Normans to exert control over newly conquered territories and to defend against potential Welsh uprisings.
The history of Castell Gwyn is intertwined with the broader history of Norman conquest and settlement in Wales. While the castle itself may not have played a significant role in major historical events, but stands as a icon to the Norman influence in Wales during the medieval period.

Ok so I have loved castles my whole life, thanks to this amazing channel I have decided to make the long journey from Australia to the UK, it won’t be for a couple of years as I am going to take my time to plan it right will be definitely be visiting many castles I have seen right here on your channel, thanks in advance for the amazing holiday.
Great to hear! Honestly it's comments like yours Dan, that mean everything to us both - this is exactly the reason we do this channel, to encourage others to travel and see these amazing places before they don't exist!! What an incredible trip you'll have all the way from Aussie! Thank you so very much for watching!
Always good to see the history of different castles
Thank you Alice, we love exploring the 'lesser' known castles and ruins as there is normally tons of history and intrigue attached, thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful video! Very enjoyable 👍😎👍
Many thanks Kev, appreciate you!
@@PinnedonPlaces Thanks and you’re welcome….it’s like watching a TV show! 👍🤓👍 truly talented!
Hi Alessa and Brett, the Castle ruins look amazing, very well preserved. The bridge across moat was very long and you explaining about the draw bridge made so much sense. I always wonder how they were able to construct such wonderful buildings it must of taken such a long time. Thank you for all the hard work you do researching the history. The drone footagre was brilliant and showed such stunning views. Take care x Julie and Tony x
Glad you enjoyed it! Julie and Tony - honestly appreciate your wonderful comments and your support , it's always so appreciated. Wishing you both a wonderful week ahead! xx
so amazing and sooo big ..really great to see that on your video...thanks for the share...have a great day
Thanks for watching! Fred, you're awesome!
It's always nice to learn something new about such wonderful historical sites. Thank you for taking us along 👏💯
Thank you so much, it's always very much appreciated!
This place looks stunning, wonderful to hear the history. Great video
Thank you so very much Cara xx
Hi Alessa & Brett, what a stunning finale. Magnificent views. I've seen a few castles in Wales but had no idea about this ( or the other 2 ) built against the Uprisings. I'm always so in awe of the structures- the wide walls and height of the buildings. What a manpower ( slave labour) would have been used to build these castles. I always feel very small and insignificant inside the walls. What an amazing history. Your narration is so clear and well delivered. Another jewel on your channel. Sorry to have missed the premier- asleep still. Monday morning here, not a Bank Holiday though 🤣! Have a great week.👌😎🙋♀🥝
Thank you kindly Anita, you're so kind to watch our walking tour, thank you! Wishing you a wonderful week down under! heh xx
Always a very quiet castle this one, beautiful though & perfect for a picnic.
Amazing. 😮. Thankyou!. 👌
Thank you so much for watching Sharyn!
Fascinating castle
Isn't it just! Thank you for watching :)
Another great production! ❤
Appreciate that Ij xx
Top Class video as always Alessa and Brett. Looked amazing as always
You're always so very kind! thank you!
Great tour of this amazing castle, loved the detailed commentary and you’re right - it’s surprising that it’s not better known.
Glad you enjoyed it, you're so very kind! appreciate you. Yeah, the three castles are quite the fun day out, bags of history attached with each one, it seems a shame they aren't more well known. Thank you for watching!
@@PinnedonPlaces You're most welcome!

Very interesting and well explained you forget about these castles being full of soldiers and a hive of industry.. all the best Glyn
Thank you so much Glyn, really do appreciate your comments!!
Beautiful 😊 I loved the moat! I always wondered if the shapes of the castles had any special meaning 🤔 Great episode
Thank you kindly DL, appreciate your time and your comments, well honestly I think some were made just as the Lord would have wanted it to look, fascinating how different they all are though!
Incredible views 👌
Thank you so much! 💓
Very interesting, the foundation reminds me of the foundation of the statue of liberty
Thank you kindly for watching and being a fab support!
We have to get to Wales! One question... Where's the take away window??? 😂😂😂.... Nice views and info as always! Chuck and Lori
Good question! hehe, do love a white castle burger! hehe, thank you Chuck and Lori, appreciate you both!
Have you heard of White Castle burgers 🍔?
I have indeed, I've eaten a White Castle burger before too hehe, it always makes me laugh when I think of this castle!
I often wonder who designed these buildings ?, were they built from off a plan ? Did they use local builders or were there companies that specialised in this type of construction ?
Some fantastic questions, it's mind blowing really, I would assume they used local builders though, but that is a fascinating route to go down! Thank you for watching!
@@PinnedonPlaces thank you , I thoroughly enjoy the content .
We was here not long ago lol
👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome, incredible ruins right? Have you visited any more Southern Castles? Castell Coch, Raglan and Chepstow are really special and worth a visit :)
