St Fagans Castle, Manor house in St Fagans, Wales
The Elizabethan mansion features a D-shaped court surrounded by medieval fortifications with walls reaching two meters in thickness.
Built in 1580 on the ruins of a Norman castle, the structure became the residence of the Lewis family when Sir Edward Lewis purchased it in 1616.
The interior displays original paneling and firebacks from 1620, marked with the initials EBL of Edward and Blanche Lewis who completed the internal elements.
The ground floor remains open for visitors while the first floor undergoes electrical upgrades and the roof awaits major structural repairs.
Water from the village corn mill powered an electric light system installed during the Windsor-Clive family residence period.
