The imposing moated remains of this twelfth-century castle, probably the work of Henry II, stand on a low hill in beautiful countryside about a mile from the village of Llantilio Crossenny. The Welsh form of its name, Castell Gwyn, is said to derive from a local ruler of early Norman times, Gwyn ap Gwaethfoed, but the original name of the castle was Llantilio Castle, and the alternative - first recorded in the 13th century - refers to the white rendering which is still visible on parts of the nearly complete set of exterior walls.
