Llansteffan Castle, a historic ruin in Wales, was renovated by the Evans family in 2022. The family, led by businesswoman Marian Evans, purchased the 100-acre Plas Farm, which includes ownership and responsibility for Llansteffan Castle, in a confidential deal several years prior. The television series, Teulu'r Castell (meaning 'castle family'), documents the family's efforts to renovate the castle and develop it into a wedding venue. (The castle is a ruin, not a residence as implied in the current story.)
The castle, which is privately owned and under a deed of guardianship with Cadw, was built by the Normans after 1100. It has a rich history, having been captured and recaptured multiple times, including by Owain Glyndŵr. The castle is located in Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire, Wales, and stands on an Iron Age promontory fort.
