„The Castle At Brecon“

from the gallery of Ian Lewis
Brecon-castle-tex-3
Description:

The castle at Brecon (Aberhonddu) in Wales standing above the River Honddu close to where it flows into the River Usk. This was one of the first stone castles in Wales, built by Bernard de Neufmarche in 1093. The Welsh, however, destroyed the town in the 1100s and so a stone shell keep and outer walls were built by the early 1200s. The section in the image dates from c.1300. In 1645 Parliament captured the castle and slighted (razed) the walls to prevent future defensive use.
