Castle Green House

Castle Green House is a Grade II* listed Regency building in Cardigan with a symmetrical front featuring arched windows and a stucco facade across two floors. The interior spans multiple levels with various rooms including a ground-floor dungeon, coal cellar, and a library on the upper level.

Construction began in 1808 for John Bowen and incorporated elements from a 13th-century round tower of the original Cardigan Castle. This blend of different periods became a defining feature of the building.

The building now serves as an exhibition space where visitors discover the history of the castle and learn about the National Eisteddfod of Wales. Local traditions and cultural heritage are presented within these Grade II* listed walls.

The building spans several floors with different areas to explore, some located in underground spaces. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for varying light conditions in different levels.

The east wing extends to three stories with stone facing and contains a medieval round tower, creating a rare architectural blend of different periods. This unexpected combination of Regency-style design and medieval structure makes it a notable example of layered building history.
