Glandyfi Castle, Gothic mansion in Ysgubor-y-coed, Wales.

The castellated country house features a two-story central block with a three-story tower, buttresses, and slate roofs throughout the structure.

George Jeffreys, High Sheriff of Cardiganshire, commissioned the construction of Glandyfi Castle in 1810 after his family acquired the estate in 1792.

The castle hosted the 1820 wedding of novelist Thomas Love Peacock to Jane Griffith, marking a connection between the estate and literary circles.

The mansion contains ten bedrooms, ten bathrooms, oak-paneled halls, multiple reception rooms, and extends across 31 acres of surrounding land.

Glandyfi Castle stands as the only example of a castellated country house design registered within the county of Ceredigion.
