What is recorded here
Powis Castle - Ice House is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a cold sentinel among the gardens, preserving sweetness through the heat of summer. Maybe its walls held the breath of winter long after the snow had vanished. Imagine the clang of iron doors and the sudden silence of trapped air.

Built in the 18th century as part of the Powis Castle estate, the Ice House was used to store ice for preserving food and drinks. It remains an important example of ancillary architecture associated with a major Welsh country house.
