Beaumaris Castle. Coordinates: 53.2648°N 4.0897°W. Beaumaris Castle ( / bjuːˈmærɪs / bew-MAR-is; Welsh: Castell Biwmares Welsh pronunciation: [kastɛɬ bɪuˈmɑːrɛs] ), in Beaumaris, Anglesey, Wales, was built as part of Edward I 's campaign to conquer north Wales after 1282.
Damage was done at Llanfaes and the town never recovered. Edward I's response was to build a new castle on land of the township of Cerrig y Gwyddyl at the southern boundary of Llanfaes. This castle and its attendant planted town was named Beaumaris.
The castle was designed by the Savoyard mason Master James of Saint George and is considered the most perfect example of a concentric castle. The 'troublesome' residents of Llanfaes were removed en bloc to Rhosyr in the west of Anglesey, a new settlement King Edward entitled "Newborough".
