Castell Coch in Wales was originally built in the 11th Century. Some historians debate on whether there was an earlier fort built by Ifor Bach the Lord of Senghenydd. It is said his ghost haunts this castle. The castle you see today was rebuilt in the gothic style by John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute. Castell Coch means "Red Castle" in Welsh- for the color of the sandstone that the castle is made from. #castle #ghoststories #paranormal #wales #history | Evelyn Edwards
