Castell Brogyntyn is a historic property located in Shropshire, England. The castle dates back to the 12th century and is a significant heritage site in the region. It is situated near the village of Llanyblodwel and is surrounded by picturesque countryside.

The castle was originally built as a defensive structure and has had various owners throughout its history. It was once owned by the Brogyntyn family, who gave their name to the castle. Over the centuries, the castle has undergone several renovations and modifications, resulting in a unique architectural blend of different styles.

The castle is characterized by its imposing stone walls, towers, and battlements. It features a central courtyard and a grand entrance gatehouse. Inside, visitors can explore the castle's rooms, including the Great Hall, which showcases elaborate stone fireplaces and intricate woodwork.

Castell Brogyntyn is also known for its beautiful gardens and grounds. The castle is set in extensive parkland, with manicured lawns, ancient trees, and a tranquil lake. The gardens offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside and are a popular spot for picnics and leisurely walks.

Today, Castell Brogyntyn is privately owned and not open to the public. However, the castle is occasionally opened for special events and guided tours, allowing visitors to experience its rich history and marvel at its architectural splendor. It remains an important heritage site, showcasing the grandeur and beauty of medieval castles in the Shropshire countryside.
