Listed Building – Grade I
Conwy Castle (Welsh: Castell Conwy, English: Conway Castle) is a
medieval fortification in Conwy, on the north coast of Wales. It
was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between
1283 and 1289. Constructed as part of a wider project to create
the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around
£15,000, a huge 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.
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.
UNESCO considers Conwy to be one of "the finest examples of late
13th century and early 14th century military architecture in
Europe", and it is classed as a World Heritage site.[1] The
rectangular castle is built from local and imported stone and
occupies a coastal ridge, originally overlooking an important
crossing point over the River Conwy. Divided into an Inner and
an Outer Ward, it is defended by eight large towers and two
barbicans, with a postern gate leading down to the river,
allowing the castle to be resupplied from the sea. It retains
the earliest surviving stone machicolations in Britain and what
historian Jeremy Ashbee has described as the "best preserved
suite of medieval private royal chambers in England and
Wales".[2] In keeping with other Edwardian castles in North
Wales, the architecture of Conwy has close links to that found
in the kingdom of Savoy during the same period, an influence
probably derived from the Savoy origins of the main architect,
James of Saint George.
