MenuPenrhyn Castle, Caernarfonshire
Penrhyn Castle is a 19th-century country house in Llandygai, Caernarfonshire. The Penrhyn estate was founded by Ednyfed Fychan. In the 15th century his descendant Gwilym ap Griffith built a fortified manor house on the site. From 1822 to 1837 the then owner Dawkins-Pennant engaged the architect Thomas Hopper who rebuilt the house in the form of a Neo-Norman castle. Penrhyn Castle is recognised as Hopper's finest work. Built in the Romanesque Revival style, it is considered among the best of the Revivalist castles in Britain. It is in the care of the National Trust. It is within the council area of Gwynedd.
