Brecon Priory Curch became Cathedral church for the Church in Wales Diocese of Swansea and Brecon in 1923. It stands close to the site of the castle, a few hundred yards from the town centre. Around 1100, the founder of Brecon Castle, a Norman lord called Bernard of Neufmarche gave the site, then occupied by a church, to a Benedictine monk from the abbey at Battle in Sussex. He and other monks established the Priory which became a daughter house of Battle Abbey. Brecon Priory expanded over a period of almost 400 years until dissolution of the monasteries in 1537. The current building dates mainly from a 13th Century expansion of the priory, though some parts of the building date back to the Norman period. Brecon Cathedral is open to visitors daily.
