Oxwich Castle, Grade I listed fortified manor house in Oxwich, Wales
The castle features a substantial gateway entry, a courtyard layout, and a hall situated at the eastern section opposite the main entrance point.
The Mansel family constructed this Tudor residence during the 16th century, replacing an earlier medieval fortress that stood on the same location.
The castle contains an exhibition space where visitors can learn about the medieval British jewelry, including the discovered Oxwich Brooch from 1320.
The castle maintains a grass parking area for 20 vehicles and offers guided tours, educational resources, and facilities for visitors with disabilities.
A medieval dovecote with 300 nesting spaces stands near the castle, demonstrating the Tudor period method of maintaining fresh meat supplies.
