Pencoed Castle, Grade II* listed Tudor castle in Langstone, United Kingdom
Pencoed Castle consists of a three-story structure made of dressed stone, featuring battlemented parapets and Tudor-style windows throughout its exterior walls.
Sir Thomas Morgan constructed the castle in the early 16th century upon the foundations of a former Norman fortress held by Sir Richard de la More in 1270.
The name Pencoed stems from Welsh words meaning 'end of the wood', marking the southwestern boundary of the historical Wentwood forest region.
The castle sits at the end of a narrow lane off the B4245 road, approximately one kilometer south of Llandevaud village and one kilometer east of Llanmartin.
The property received partial restoration attempts in 1914 by Lord Rhondda, but these efforts ceased upon his death in 1918, leaving the castle in its current state.
