Glynllifon, 19th century mansion in Llandwrog, United Kingdom.

The three-story stone mansion features 102 rooms, a central hexastyle portico, and first-floor loggia supported by Ionic marble columns.

Following a destructive fire in 1856, architect Edward Haycock designed the current structure, incorporating cellars from the previous building dating to 1600.

The mansion transitioned from a noble residence to an agricultural college, reflecting changes in Welsh educational and social development.

The estate includes multiple service buildings, workshops, a gasworks facility, and extensive gardens designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The property serves as a critical conservation site for Lesser horseshoe bats, providing both maternity and hibernation spaces for these protected creatures.
