Llawhaden Castle, Medieval bishops' castle in Llawhaden, Wales.
The fortified palace stands on elevated ground with a pentagonal layout, featuring two circular towers and substantial remains of the original stone walls.
Bishop Bernard established the first Norman fortress on this site in 1115, replacing earlier wooden defenses with a stone structure after Welsh attacks.
The castle served as a residence for the bishops of St Davids, who developed it from a military stronghold into an administrative center for church affairs.
The site remains accessible throughout the year without entrance fees, with a designated parking area located 250 meters from the main entrance.
The castle's twin-towered gatehouse includes vaulted undercrofts and battlements that provide views across the Cleddau River valley.
