Neath Castle
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.

Remains of Neath Castle
Viewed along Castle Street. The Castle Wales website states that Neath Castle was one of the minor Norman castles in the lordship of Glamorgan. Like the Romans before them, the Normans chose this strategic spot guarding the river crossing for a stronghold. The main surviving feature of the castle is the great twin-towered gatehouse on its west side.
The first castle was a ringwork known to have been built here in the 12th century by Robert, Earl of Gloucester. The roughly oval, raised enclosure to the east of the gatehouse probably dates from this period. The castle was much harried by the Welsh, and was rebuilt sometime in the early 13th century, possibly after being destroyed by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth in 1231.
Neath Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade II(star) listed.
