Deganwy Castle, located in Deganwy, Wales, is a historic stronghold that once served as a primary residence for King Maelgwn of Gwynedd. The site, known for its strategic position overlooking the River Conwy, has a rich history dating back to the Roman period and was a refuge during the Dark Ages.
Excavations in the 1960s revealed significant archaeological findings, including Dark Age pottery, highlighting the area's historical importance and connections to the royal dynasty of Gwynedd. Originally constructed in wood, the castle was rebuilt in stone under King Henry III but ultimately fell to destruction in 1263, leading to the establishment of Conway Castle nearby.
