Plas Mawr, Elizabethan townhouse in Conwy, Wales
The three-story limestone residence features decorative plasterwork throughout its seventeen rooms, displaying intricate patterns and heraldic symbols on walls and ceilings.
Robert Wynn, a Welsh merchant who served in European royal courts, invested £800 to construct this residence between 1576 and 1585.
The mansion's interior decoration reflects the social aspirations of Tudor merchants through elaborate plasterwork, painted walls, and carved wooden details.
Visitors can explore the property daily from March through September between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM, with reduced hours in October.
The property contains the original merchant's initials RW integrated into decorative elements across multiple rooms, marking his ownership and status.
