Behind the Name

The castle was built in the 12th century by Norman invaders who sought to establish a stronghold in Wales. The first known inhabitant of the castle was a Norman knight by the name of Adam de Rupe. “De Rupe,” which means “of the rock.” His name probably derived from the rock on which the castle was built.
