Skenfrith Castle, located in Monmouthshire, Wales, was built in the early 12th century by the Normans to control the Welsh border. Initially a simple wooden motte-and-bailey structure, it was later rebuilt in stone by Hubert de Burgh in the early 13th century. De Burgh added a circular keep and strong curtain walls, making it a formidable fortress.
The castle played a key role in the conflicts between the English and Welsh due to its strategic location by the River Monnow. However, by the late 15th century, its military importance declined, and it fell into ruin.
Today, Skenfrith Castle is managed by Cadw, and visitors can explore its ruins to learn about medieval military architecture and historical Anglo-Welsh conflicts.
