It was built by Llywelyn the Great. This castle is quite different from the others in Llywelyn: it might even have been inspired by an English castle to make the plans! It was probably built between 1230 and 1240, then conquered by the English King Edward I in 1283. The latter considerably fortified the castle. He adapted the towers to catapult throwing. It was not until more than a century later that it fell into Welsh hands, those of the mythical hero, Owain Glyndwr, who seized the castle in 1404 during the Welsh Revolution.
