Laugharne Castle, located in Wales, was built on an older site in 1116 initially as a Norman stronghold. In 1171-1172, it played host to a significant and intense encounter between Henry II of England and Rhys ap Gruffudd. This meeting, a treaty of peace, took place within the castle walls. The castle was later granted to the De Brian family in 1247 and changed hands twice during the English Civil War, with eventual capture by Parliamentary forces in 1644. Today, Laugharne Castle stands as a romantic ruin, its ancient walls reverberating with history.
