Welsh Architectural Awards

 Hay Castle has been shortlisted for the RSAW Welsh Architecture Awards for 2024.

From this angle, the modern rebuilding looks quite brutalist, but what you can't see are the window shutters that were all individually made to fit, and the etching on the glass panels along the edges of the balconies.  Then there's the art gallery room, and the way they've reconstructed the roof.  It really does work - and it's a lot better than the ruin at that end of the building that they started with!
