Llangynwyd Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Llangynwyd Castle is a ruined castle, probably of the 12th century, in Llangynwyd, in Bridgend County Borough, South Wales, just to the south of Maesteg.
In medieval times it was a prominent outpost in the Gorfynydd Cantref uplands of the lordship of Glamorgan, it is believed to have been annexed in around 1147, and it was mentioned in documents in 1246. The castle was plundered in 1258 and underwent a reconstruction but it was burned down in around 1293-4 and likely never rebuilt.[1]
