Skenfrith Castle

Skenfrith Castle

Skenfrith Castle (Welsh: Ynysgynwraidd) is a medieval castle located in Monmouthshire, Wales. The castle is in the centre of the village of Skenfrith, located on the banks of the River Monnow, just five miles to the north of the town of Monmouth. The first defences were built shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066, although the remains of the castle that stand today date from the early thirteenth century.
Grouped with White Castle and Grosmont Castle, Skenfrith is one of the “Three Castles” or Trilateral Castles built in the Monnow Valley as part of the Norman conquest of South Wales.
