Le ch\u00e2teau de Conwy est l\u2019un des ch\u00e2teaux m\u00e9di\u00e9vaux les plus impressionnants du Royaume-Uni. Le roi \u00c9douard Ier le fit construire entre 1283 et 1287, pendant sa conqu\u00eate du pays de Galles, \u00e0 la fois comme place forte et comme symbole de l\u2019autorit\u00e9 royale. Dress\u00e9 sur un rocher au bord de l\u2019estuaire de la Conwy, dans le nord du Pays de Galles, il est c\u00e9l\u00e8bre pour ses huit tours massives, ses deux barbacanes et ses vues sur les montagnes et la mer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work was directed by James of St George, the leading military architect of his time, and the castle and town walls together cost about \u00a315,000, a huge sum for the period. Much of the structure survives remarkably well. Visitors can walk the battlements, climb the towers and explore the great hall, the chapel and the royal apartments of the inner ward, described as the best-preserved medieval royal chambers in England and Wales. The town walls, 1.3 km long with 21 towers and three gates, still enclose the old town and are among the finest in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informations pour les visiteurs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conwy Castle belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd, listed in 1986 together with Caernarfon, Beaumaris and Harlech. From the towers there are views towards Snowdonia, the estuary and the bridges next to the castle: Thomas Telford\u2019s suspension bridge of 1826 and Robert Stephenson\u2019s railway bridge of 1848. A short section of the town walls is closed for safety work and is expected to reopen by Easter 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027 an adult ticket costs \u00a312.90, seniors over 65 pay \u00a311.60, juniors aged 5\u201317 and students \u00a39, and a family ticket costs \u00a341.30; children under 5 enter free, and booking online saves 5%. A joint ticket with the Elizabethan town house Plas Mawr costs \u00a316.30. The castle is open from 9:30 to 17:00 between March and October (until 18:00 in July and August) and from 10:00 to 16:00 from November to February, with last admission 30 minutes before closing; it is closed on 24\u201326 December and 1 January. Wear comfortable shoes, because the spiral staircases in the towers are narrow and uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
