Aberedw Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Aberedw, Wales.
The castle features a rectangular layout with round towers at each corner, positioned on a rocky ridge overlooking the River Edw valley.
The castle's construction began around 1093 during the Norman invasion of South Wales, initially serving as a defensive stronghold for the Baskerville family.
The castle holds significance as the final refuge of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, the last native Prince of Wales, before his death in 1282.
The castle remains stand near the B4567 road, approximately 4 miles southeast of Builth Wells, with access through a causeway across the eastern ditch.
A 19th-century railway construction caused substantial damage to the western section of the castle, with many original stones used for the rail track foundation.
