Laugharne Castle

Laugharne Castle
Laugharne Castle was originally established in 1116. It was rebuilt as a Norman stronghold. The castle was the meeting place of Henry II of England and Rhys ap Gruffudd, where they agreed a treaty of peace. When Henry II of England died in 1189 the castle was seized by Rhys ap Gruffudd.

In 1584, Queen Elizabeth I granted Laugharne to Sir John Perrott who was responsible for converting the castle from a fortification into a Tudor mansion.

During the Civil War, in 1644, Laugharne the castle was slighted in about 1730 the new Castle House was built close by, the castle itself being left as a romantic ruin.
