Aberconwy House, Medieval merchant house in Conwy, Wales.
Aberconwy House features exposed timber framing, narrow windows, and thick stone walls that demonstrate medieval construction techniques from the early 15th century.
Built between 1417 and 1420, this Grade II* listed building served as a residence for English merchants who settled in Wales after Edward I's conquest.
The house exhibits different periods of Welsh domestic life through its furnished rooms, showing how merchant families lived from medieval times through Victorian era.
The National Trust manages guided tours of the property, which includes a second-hand bookshop and remains open to visitors throughout the year.
Tree-ring analysis of the roof timbers confirms this structure as one of only two surviving medieval merchant houses in the walled town of Conwy.
