Kidwelly Castle

Kidwelly Castle ist die Ruine einer Burg in der walisischen Grafschaft Carmarthenshire, die im 12. bis 15. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde.

Beschreibung

Der innere Burghof besitzt vier runde Wehrtürme und ist auf drei Seiten von einem Zwinger umgeben. Im Osten fehlt die Zwingermauer, da dort der Hang genug Schutz bietet (Allen Brown, Seiten 78-79). Wie bei walisischen Burgen aus dieser Zeit üblich, ist das Torhaus besonders stark befestigt.
