It was briefly retaken by Welsh forces under Llywelyn the Last in 1282. It was attacked during the Owain Glynd r rebellion in 1403 and left a partial ruin. The castle fell into decline beginning in the 14th century and was never rebuilt. Today it is easily accessible being a very short walk from Llandovery town centre, and the site of the statue of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd Fychan , which bears an uncanny likeness to Darth Vader of Star Wars and the castle is affectionately now known as the home of Darth Vader.
