Rhug, Country house in Denbighshire, United Kingdom

Located near Corwen, this Grade II listed building retains its original 1798 architecture despite the removal of its east wing in 1976.

Early records from 1080 mention the site in connection with Grufydd ap Cynan, Prince of Gwynedd, who was imprisoned in Chester during territorial conflicts.

The estate incorporates Rug Chapel, constructed in 1637 by John Salusbury, who served as Colonel and Governor of Denbigh Castle during the Civil War.

The property includes 12,500 acres of land, with 8,000 acres dedicated to organic farming operations that received royal recognition in 2018.

Archaeological excavations in 1875 revealed a Bronze Age burial mound measuring 300 feet in circumference, later repurposed as a Victorian ice house foundation.
