Ynysmaengwyn, Medieval estate ruins in Tywyn, Wales
The remaining stone structures of Ynysmaengwyn House stand near the Dysynni River, marking the location of a former Georgian manor complex.
The estate traces its origins to the 14th century when Gruffudd ab Adda served as bailiff of Ystumanner and established his family's presence.
Welsh poets gathered at Ynysmaengwyn throughout the fifteenth century, making the estate a center for literary creation and performance.
The grounds now contain a caravan park, while historical documentation about the estate remains accessible at the National Library of Wales.
During the English Civil War, the estate owners burned their own property to prevent Parliamentarian forces from taking control of the building.
