Tretower Court, Medieval fortified manor house in Cwmdu, Wales.
The stone structure combines residential quarters with defensive features, including thick walls, a courtyard, and a curtain wall with machicolations.
The Vaughan family owned and modified Tretower Court from 1450 until 1783, when the property transitioned into agricultural use.
The architecture represents the fusion of medieval military design with domestic living spaces, reflecting the social status of Welsh nobility.
Visitors can explore the restored great hall, solar, service rooms, and kitchen, managed by Cadw, the Welsh government heritage organization.
The building contains multiple preserved fireplaces and arched-brace trusses, revealing construction techniques from different modification periods.
