Castell Coety is a medieval castle situated in Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales, dating primarily to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The castle consists of a substantial stone keep surrounded by defensive walls and ditches, representing a significant example of Norman military architecture in South Wales. Built on a strategic site commanding the River Ogmore valley, it served as an important stronghold for the Norman lords of Glamorgan and underwent successive phases of construction and modification throughout the medieval period. The castle's remains, now in the care of Cadw, preserve evidence of its role as a major defensive and administrative centre during the Norman settlement and subsequent governance of the region.
