A palace once owned by Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth
(d.1240), ‘an arrowshot from the River Conwy', now a country
home with a Tudor look. The Welsh palace or llys of Llywelyn,
like other survivors at Garth Celyn
and Nanlle, consists of a long hall block. This has been
added to over the years, especially in the Tudor period, when a tower
house was attached to it. The owning Wynn family moved here
from Dolwyddelan castle
in the sixteenth century and used parts of Maenan abbey to
refashion the palace. A panelled dining room from the 1620s,
after a trip to America in the twentieth century, has been recently restored
and reopened.Copyright©2017
