In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.<br /> <br /> It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).<br /> <br /> Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle. <br /> <br /> The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.<br /> <br /> Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site. <br /> <br /> The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.<br /> <br /> Information Source:<br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conwy_Castle" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conwy_Castle</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/brig_bhoy/">rideoncu</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/brig_bhoy/54170954802/" title="Conwy castle 4-1"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54170954802_f8ef6b27de_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Conwy castle 4-1" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/petersroberts/">Peter Stuart-Roberts</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/petersroberts/54133603113/" title="Autumn Knights, Conwy"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54133603113_0b06b466b7_m.jpg" width="240" height="117" alt="Autumn Knights, Conwy" /></a></p> <p>Conwy Castle, Rose Hill Street, Conwy, LL32 8AY<br /> <br /> Conwy Castle Coordinates...53.28°N 3.825556°W<br /> <br /> Conwy Castle .What Three Word Location /recruiter.responses.etchings<br /> <br /> Conwy Castle (Welsh: Castell Conwy; is a fortification in Conwy, located in North Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1287. Constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around £15,000, a massive sum for the period. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. It withstood the siege of Madog ap Llywelyn in the winter of 1294–95, acted as a temporary haven for Richard II in 1399 and was held for several months by forces loyal to Owain Glyndŵr in 1401.<br /> <br /> Following the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642, the castle was held by forces loyal to Charles I, holding out until 1646 when it surrendered to the Parliamentary armies. In the aftermath, the castle was partially slighted by Parliament to prevent it being used in any further revolt, and was finally completely ruined in 1665 when its remaining iron and lead was stripped and sold off. Conwy Castle became an attractive destination for painters in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Visitor numbers grew and initial restoration work was carried out in the second half of the 19th century. In the 21st century, the ruined castle is managed by Cadw as a tourist attraction.<br /> <br /> Click the pic to explore 💖💛💚💙💜</p>
