Llandough Castle

[2] Through marriage the castle became part of the Talbot family's Penrice and Margam estate in 1677 and was subsequently leased to various private owners throughout the 18th century.

[2][5] Llandough Castle underwent extensive structural revisions in the 19th century by renting occupants, in particular John Price and Francis Edmonde Stacey.

[2] Sold in 1929, Llandough Castle has since remained a private residential property, though in the 1930s it was temporarily used as an educational centre for young boys working in the local mines.

[1][2] Frequent renovation work occurred during the 19th century, including the incorporation of the West Tower into the main structure and construction of the East Wing.

[1][2] Minor changes were made to the interior layout of the castle after World War II, including alterations to the central part of the structure and the repurposing of the servants quarters.
