Located five miles north of Cardiff Castle, Castell Coch, or the "Red Castle," was built to be its country companion. Built on the foundation of a 13th century castle, it was always intended more as a realisation of a romantic fantasy, than as a practical residence. The castle, which looks like something out of a fairytale, was the culmination of the combined efforts of the Marquess of Bute and William Burges.
