Albro Castle, Victorian workhouse in St Dogmaels, Wales
The stone building features three parallel ranges connected by a central spine, creating four open-ended courtyards with Tudor-style chimneys and casement windows.
Built in 1840 as the Cardigan Union Workhouse for £3,250, the structure housed poor residents from 25 parishes across Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire.
The building represents the Victorian approach to social welfare, accommodating up to 441 residents despite its intended capacity of 120 people.
The Grade II* listed building stands at an elevation of 28 meters on Poppit Road, featuring two floors made of brown rubble stone with slate roofs.
During World War II, the 111th Ordnance Company of the U.S. Army occupied the building from January 1944 until their departure on D-Day.
