Stradey Castle

Recorded historic place

What is recorded here

Stradey Castle stands in Llanelli as a Post Medieval mansion built between 1850 and 1855 for David Mansel Lewis. Edward Haycock designed the main house, while John Chessell Buckler added a wing with a turret, billiard room and marble bath during 1873 and 1874. The house has since hosted film crews for Heidi and Doctor Who, yet it remains a private residence where ordinary life still moves through its grand rooms.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Stradey Castle as Recorded historic place 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.
Stradey Castle was built in the 17th century by the Stradling family, a prominent Welsh gentry family. It is remembered as a historic example of a Welsh country house and is noted in the National Monuments Record of Wales for its historical and architectural significance.
