Plas Mawr

Plas Mawr is an Elizabethan townhouse constructed in three phases between 1576 and 1585 for Robert Wynn. The house and its interiors (including a banquet hall and decorated fireplace) are documented in architectural surveys and photographic records. After Robert Wynn's death, a prolonged legal dispute over his estate helped prevent redevelopment, contributing to the house's preservation in its original condition. Today Plas Mawr is managed as a heritage site and tourist attraction (Cadw), featured in travel guides and architectural studies, and is Grade I listed.
