Mae dyfodol y castell, sy’n 750 mlwydd oed, ac sydd heb amheuaeth y castell canoloesol pwysicaf yng Nghymru sydd heb ei gynnal a’i gadw, yn edrych yn llawer gwell.  Mae Ymddiriedolaeth Gadwraeth Castell Rhuthun – a grewyd y llynedd –bellach am fod yn gyfrifol am les yr heneb.  Cenhadaeth yr Ymddiriedolaeth yw annog, trafod ac ysbrydoli cymuned Rhuthun a thu hwnt i ymuno â’i gilydd i gefnogi’r gwaith o adfer a gwneud gwaith cadwraeth cynaliadwy ar Gastell Rhuthun a’r gerddi, y tir o’i amgylch ac adeiladau eraill, gan ddefnyddio ei nodweddion treftadaethol i greu amgylchedd hanesyddol, ar gyfer twristiaeth a hamdden.  Meddai archaeolegydd y sir, Fiona Gale:“Mae’n wych gweld gwaith yn cael ei wneud ar Gastell Rhuthun o’r diwedd, mae’r gwaith carreg yn anhygoel ond mae wedi bod mewn cyflwr gwael iawn am ddegawdau, a dwy flynedd yn ôl syrthiodd rhan bach o’r waliau.   Mae Cadw bellach yn cynnig arian i ddechrau’r prosiect gwych hwn ac i fynd i’r afael â’r rhannau sydd wedi dirywio fwyaf.  Mae’n wych gweld hyn yn digwydd ac yn wych i dref Rhuthun.”Meddai Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, Ken Skates:“Rwy’n falch iawn bod cymaint o ewyllys da a brwdfrydedd ynghylch Castell Rhuthun ymysg y gymuned leol ac rwy’n dymuno’n dda i’r Ymddiriedolaeth yn eu gwaith yn y dyfodol o adrodd stori Castell Rhuthun.  Er bod gwneud gwaith brys ar ein henebion yn beth prin ac yn digwydd os nad oes ateb arall, bydd gwaith Cadw ar y safle yn rhwystro rhagor o ddirywiad ar y safle a bydd gobeithio yn denu rhagor o gyllid i’r Ymddiriedolaeth.”
The future of the 750 year old Castle, which is arguably the most significant medieval castle in Wales not to have been conserved, is now looking brighter. The Ruthin Castle Conservation Trust - which was created last year - is also now looking at taking over the lease of the ancient monument. The Trust’s mission is to encourage, engage and inspire the community of Ruthin and beyond to join together in supporting the restoration, and sustainable conservation of Ruthin Castle and its gardens, grounds and associated buildings, using its heritage qualities to create an historic educational, tourism and leisure environment.County Archaeologist Fiona Gale, said:“It is wonderful to at last see work happening at Ruthin Castle, the medieval masonry is amazing but has been in a very poor condition for decades, two years ago there was a small collapse. Cadw are putting funding in to kick start this fantastic project and to address the worst areas of damage. It is great to see this happening and great for the town of Ruthin.”Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, said:“I’m delighted that there’s so much good will and passion towards the future of Ruthin Castle among the local community and I wish the Trust well in their future work to share the story of Ruthin Castle.  Although emergency works at our ancient monuments are rare and are used as a last resort, Cadw’s work at the site will prevent further loss of the site and will hopefully attract further funding for the Trust.”
