Castell Coch

Castell Coch (Welsh for 'Red Castle') is a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built above the village of Tongwynlais in South Wales. The first castle on the site was built by the Normans after 1081 to protect the newly conquered town of Cardiff and control the route along the Taff Gorge. Abandoned shortly afterwards, the castle's earth motte was reused by Gilbert de Clare as the basis for a new stone fortification, which he built between 1267 and 1277 to control his freshly annexed Welsh lands. This castle was likely destroyed in the native Welsh rebellion of 1314. In 1760, the castle ruins were acquired by John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute, as part of a marriage settlement that brought the family vast estates in South Wales.

        Stained glass chapel panels, originally designed by William Burges (2 December 1827 – 20 April 1881), made for the chapel of the third Marquess of Bute’s late 19th-century ‘fairytale’ style castle at Castell Coch, near Cardiff. Each measuring 72 x 37cm, the three panels depict the Seven Archangels: St Gabriel (holding the lily), St Jophiel (holding a flaming sword), St Uriel (holding the sun), St Michael (holding sword and balance scale), St Chamuel (holding chalice and staff), St Zadkiel (holding a dagger), and St Raphael (holding a staff with flask).
