Fonmon is one of the few medieval castles which is still lived in as a home. It was built by the St. John family in the early 13th century and has changed hands only once. Although most of the present castle dates from the post-medieval period, the rectangular keep was built c.1200 and is still the core of the castle. One of Fonmon's surviving towers may also be medieval in date. In later centuries the castle was enlarged by adding wings to the medieval keep. 

The Castle has many splendid areas open to visitors, including, the gardens, the hall, the drawing room, the library, and the kitchen. Fonmon Castle is available throughout the year for a wide variety of events, both outside in the extensive gardens and inside with its wealth of history and stunning Georgian interiors and is a licensed venue for weddings. 

Georgian rococo interiors house an important collection antique paintings, books, porcelain etc all enclosed in fine walled gardens with castellated Watch Tower and Stable Block.
