Nantclwyd y Dre

The seven-story timber-framed townhouse features rooms decorated to represent different periods from 1435 through the 20th century.

Construction began in 1435 when Ruthin served as a regional weaving center, with Goronwy ap Madog and Suzanna establishing the initial structure.

Each room presents period-specific furnishings and displays that demonstrate the evolution of Welsh domestic life across five centuries.

The museum opens from April to September, offering guided tours, educational programs, and access to the restored Lord's Garden.

The attic houses a maternity colony of Lesser Horseshoe bats, which visitors can observe through specialized camera equipment.
