Noble Friends,
Today the BBC featured a video tour of the pentagonal Holt Castle in
Wales, but this is all a computer simulation of how the rooms might have
looked. Sadly, there is no furniture or wall decoration. Sources often
tell us the interior walls of castles were plastered and decorated with
murals or colored banding. It still is an impressive and interesting
video: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-33506179

Here is some more on the castle, including a translation so you can try
out your Welsh:
