Newcastle Castle, on Newcastle Hill, overlooking the town centre of Bridgend in Glamorgan, South Wales, was initially constructed in 1106 by William de Londres, one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan, as part of the Norman invasion of Wales.
It is one of three castles built by the Normans in the area at the time, the others being Coity Castle and Ogmore Castle.
