What is recorded here

Bryn Bras Castle is a neo-Romanesque country house built between 1829 and 1835 for lawyer Thomas Williams. It later became a horse stud under Capt. Frank Stewart Barnard and an oil millionaire's residence before converting into apartments. The grounds still hold gladiator statues, a Pan figure in a pool, and a knot garden that invite visitors to imagine the private rituals of its owners.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Bryn Bras Castle as Country House from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bryn Bras Castle was built in the early 20th century as a country house by Sir Henry Edwards, a prominent Welsh industrialist and Liberal politician. It is remembered for its association with Welsh political and industrial history and for its architectural significance in the landscape of North Wales.
