Castell Coch
About: What happens when a patron of unlimited wealth meets an architect of boundless imagination? Here’s your answer. Castell Coch, or the ‘Red Castle’, rises up from the ancient beech woods of Fforest Fawr like a vision from a fairy tale. Yet these great towers with their unmistakable conical roofs only hint at the splendour within. The highly decorated interiors of Castell Coch make it a dazzling masterpiece of the High Victorian era. Yet underneath the mock-medieval trappings you can still trace the impressive remains of a 13th-century castle. The Castle is regularly voted by the public as their favourite building in Wales.
