Neath Castle, in the centre of the town, was one of the minor Norman castles in the lordship of Glamorgan guarding the river crossing for a stronghold. It was established by Robert, Earl of Gloucester, some time between 1114 and 1130. The main surviving feature of the castle is the great twin-towered gatehouse on its west side. This belongs to 14th century rebuilding.
