Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) are working on a project exploring the lost interiors of Margam Castle. The project is generously funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF): Heritage Culture Tourism and Events Fund.
NPTCBC are working in partnership with CFP Landscape and Heritage Consultancy and the Centre for Heritage Research and Training (CHART) at Swansea University to create a new reconstruction of the castle’s late Victorian interiors in the Library and the Dining Room through an Augmented Reality (AR) app, viewable through mobile devices.
Instead of the empty Library and Dining Room, visitors to the Castle will be able to see the grandeur of the artwork, sculptures and furnishings including collections that the Talbot family built up over generations that were originally in these 2 rooms.
The interiors of Margam castle were lost, firstly to a four-day Christies Auction in 1941 and then to the ravages of a fire in 1977.
