Dolwyddelan Castle
Dolwyddelan Castle ((ウェールズ語:Castell Dolwyddelan)) is a Welsh castle located near Dolwyddelan in Conwy County in North Wales. It is thought to have been built in the early 13th century by Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Gwynedd and North Wales. Though the castle was then only one tower with two floors, a second tower was built in the late 13th century and a third floor was added to the first during the late 15th century repairs.
==Construction==
The castle was built, using mostly local grit and slate rubble, as one of the Snowdonian strongholds of the princes of Gwynedd. Though there are no records of the exact construction date, it is thought to have been built in the early thirteenth century consisting of one rectangular tower with two floors.〔 The first floor would have consisted of a main chamber with a fireplace, with a trapdoor for entrance to the basement, and the main keep's doorway was covered by a porch or forebuilding.〔
The second two storey tower was added by Edward I during the repairs in 1283-1284 and linked by an irregular curtain wall with a courtyard in the centre, with further work undertaken in 1290-2. This second tower contained a fireplace on the top floor reached by internal stairs.〔 A third storey was added to the main keep in the late 15th century, resulting in it now reaching a height of 40ft.〔The Snowdonia Tourism Association. ''The Villages of Snowdon''.〕 The castle was heavily restored between 1848 and 1850 by Baron Willoughby de Eresby during which time the battlements were added.〔〔
