About Castell Coch
Welcome to Castell Coch — Wales's fairytale castle.
Grand turrets, lavish interiors and an enchanting woodland setting make this castle truly magical.
Castell Coch Description
The ‘eccentric genius’ William Burges was given free rein by his paymaster, John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the 3rd marquess of Bute, to create a rural retreat to complement the opulence of his main residence, Cardiff Castle. He didn’t hold back. Dazzling ceilings, over-the-top furnishings and furniture were liberally applied
Rhoddwyd rhwydd hynt i’r athrylith ecsentrig William Burges gan ei dâl-feistr, John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, 3ydd ardalydd Bute, i greu encilfa wledig fel cymar i’w brif gartref, Castell Caerdydd. Aeth i’r afael â’r gwaith hwnnw ag awch. Sicrhaodd fod y castell yn llawn nenfydau rhyfeddol a dodrefn anhygoel.
