Coity Castle
WLS Gales · siglo XI
Coity Castle (Welsh: Castell Coety) is a Norman castle in Bridgend (historically in Glamorgan), Wales. It was built by Sir Payn "the Demon" de Turberville (fl. 1126), one of the legendary Twelve Knights of Glamorgan supposed to have conquered Glamorgan under the leadership of Robert FitzHamon (d. 1107), Lord of Gloucester. Now in ruins, it stands in the community of Coity Higher near the town of Bridgend. Very close to the castle is the battlemented parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, which dates from the 14th century.
The castle is a Grade I listed building.
