St Fagans Castle

Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom

St Fagans Castle is an Elizabethan manor house in the village of St Fagans, just west of Cardiff, Wales, dating back to the late 16th century and now forming the centerpiece of the St Fagans National Museum of History.

The castle and its remaining medieval defensive walls are Grade I listed, and the house sits within a large park filled with historic gardens that blend Tudor, Victorian, and Edwardian design. The wider estate grounds house an open‑air museum operated by National Museum Wales, where over fifty historic buildings from across Wales—such as farmhouses, cottages, a church, a school, and a workmen’s institute—have been dismantled and rebuilt to show everyday life across different periods.

Today the site is a major cultural attraction, combining the preserved castle, formal gardens, and a living‑history museum with regular events, farm animals, and free admission.
