Glynllifon

Glynllifon is a three-story stone mansion with 102 rooms located in Llandwrog, Wales. The building stands out for its central columned portico and ground-floor loggias supported by marble columns in the Ionic style.

After a fire in the 1800s, architect Edward Haycock designed the present mansion. The new building reused cellars from an earlier structure that dated back centuries.

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

The property includes several outbuildings, workshops, and extensive gardens designated for special scientific protection. Visitors can spend time exploring the variety of structures scattered across the grounds.

The estate provides shelter for a rare bat species that uses the building for both breeding and winter hibernation. The presence of these protected creatures adds a layer of ecological importance to the historic site.
