Bronllys Castle, located just outside the town of Bronllys in Powys, Mid Wales, is a historic Norman fortress characterized by its imposing 80-foot tall round keep. This remarkable structure, built on a motte, showcases the innovative design of round keeps that were developed to withstand siege engines during the 13th century.

Originally constructed by Richard FitzPons, the castle played a significant role in maintaining Norman dominance in the region and has a rich history involving the Clifford family. Despite its ruins, the castle remains a prominent landmark, supported by ongoing preservation efforts, ensuring its survival for future generations.
