What is recorded here

Gwrych Castle stands in Conwy, Wales, as a Post Medieval castle within the national record. It is not a grand marbles tower but a small sharp mark on the coast, the kind of place where private memory and public history collide. Perhaps it was a household seat, a watch point or a family claim written in stone; the absent detail does not weaken it, it invites imagination. What is known is that it exists, that it belongs to Wales, and that its small size makes its continuity more striking.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Gwrych Castle as Castle 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.

Gwrych Castle was built in the early 19th century by Thomas Johnes, a wealthy Welsh landowner and antiquary. It is remembered for its picturesque Gothic Revival architecture and its later use as a children's home in the 20th century.
