Llantysilio Hall, Grade II* listed house in Llantysilio, Wales
Llantysilio Hall is a Victorian mansion standing on the banks of the River Dee with elaborate architectural details throughout its 25 bedrooms. The interior features carefully crafted spaces and ornamental elements designed to accommodate large gatherings.
Charles Beyer, a German-born locomotive manufacturer, purchased the property in 1867 and commissioned architect Samuel Pountney Smith to design the current building. The Victorian mansion took shape as part of a larger industrial family's investment in the Welsh countryside.
Victorian marble chimneypieces throughout the rooms feature cameo portraits of historical figures and reflect the tastes of its 19th-century owners. These decorative elements show what the residents valued and how they displayed their knowledge and connections.
The property operates as an event venue offering accommodation and facilities for celebrations and large gatherings in its various rooms. Visitors can explore the Dee Valley surroundings and enjoy walks along the riverbanks nearby.
During World War II, the entire building was repurposed to house Moreton Hall School, transforming residential spaces into educational classrooms and dormitories. After the war, it returned to private use and later became available for events.
