  • The present mansion house, Plas Glynllifon, was built in 1836-48 to the designs of Edward Haycock, a Shrewsbury architect, and succeeded at least three previous houses on the site. The original building predated a rebuilding c.1600, which itself was rebuilt in 1751. That house, a 'moderate-sized brick mansion', was destroyed by a major fire in 1836. The rebuilding that followed and an extension in 1889-90 largely form the house that exists today.
    The house is a neoclassical 3-story building with an attached lower service courtyard to the west and an asymmetrical 13-bay south-facing facade dominated by a central hexastyle pedimented portico. It is built of stone with rendered elevations under a slate roof with rendered chimney stacks topped by molded cornices and an Italianate water tank.
    Glynllifon was the seat of the Glynn family until 1700 when it passed to the Wynn family of Bodvean. Sir Thomas John Wynn became the 1st Baron Newborough in 1776 and Glynllifon passed down the family to Frederick George Wynn, the 3rd Lord Newborough's youngest son.
    The house is now in rough condition with renovation projects to be unsuccessful.

    Hey Steve welcome to the UK! The slot machine was named for a board game we play here called “Cluedo” I believe you have the exact same game in the US but you guys call it “Clue”. It’s is a beautiful mansion and I never knew it was there!! I hope it gets fully restored and brought back to life. It’s amazing. We have some amazing buildings here in the UK and the architecture is stunning in these old buildings. Much prefer it to the modern building tbh. That room with just a shower is called a wet room, usually found in houses with disabled people. But most bathrooms over here have bath, shower, sink and toilet all together. The wet room could have been a more modern addition.

    Plas Glynllifon is a grand neo-classical mansion built in the 1830/40s by Lord Newborough and sits on the site of a series of earlier houses and at the heart of an historical estate which exerted a profound influence over the landscapes and communities of Caernarfonshire for centuries.
    In 1948 the estate was sold to a timber merchant and in 1954 the house and park were sold to Caernarfonshire County Council, the buildings later transferred to Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor.
    In 1969 Plas Glynllifon played host to the Prince of Wales Investiture Ball. The mansion has lain empty for several years after a previous attempt to create a wedding venue failed before the Williams' took on the site. It has recently been bought by a Property developer from Manchester.

      Thank you for this update. ☺️☺️☺️. I felt certain someone had possession of the property- especially with running water and electricity in certain places. The home has not been “abandoned”, but it is certainly in disrepair. One source said the mansion was not built properly, and definitely not maintained. I think the current owners should auction off the art and furniture, and pull the structure down- then turn the whole thing into a park. It’s too big to care for, and far too expensive to keep it operational. I suspect it’s always been that way.

      I was a bit disappointed that someone would cover all the wood floors with what looked like thin, gross, red carpet. And the ceilings didn't have the detailing and fancy mouldings that most castles I've watched have. The only part of this that was really impressive was the grand entrance. They didn't even keep the bathrooms to match the period of the building. It just looks like whoever had it before didn't really care if it was kept looking original or not. It could be brought back to it's original glory if they wanted to. But, if a property developer bought it they probably won't.

    Those red painted items at the start are plaster decorations, perhaps moulds, and the framed illustrations are Victorian/Edwardian era cartoons, perhaps later reproductions. In fact most of the paintings and prints look like reproductions, or of low quality. Some of the furniture and statues will be valuable though.
    The crests are either from the Wynn Baronets of Bodvean or Barons Newborough, or perhaps invented for the hotel/wedding development?
    (11'55": the dead fly room, watch the mirror (⊙_⊙) Can't be Dracula if it has a reflection;)
    The narrow stairs are for staff, no point wasting money on their comfort or safety. The house must have had a huge staff, that courtyard for horse drawn delivery and other servant activities. Looks like that wing was completed in 1890.

    Though I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I want to point out that turning water faucets can create real damage to the property. Most of time, air pressure has built up over time in the pipes. When you turn the handle that pressure moves thru the line, and water follows. However, many of those lines are weak and can be unstable. Long after you've left...the remaining water can drip (until the pipe is empty) onto the the floor/ceiling below. Please stop turning the faucets. No one is there to monitor the results of your actions. I would hate to hear that you've been charged with a crime and the owners are trying to collect for damages.

    Back in 1973 when the mansion was in the hands of the council I spent a very enjoyable week with school in Glynllifon. For a number of years pupils from I should think all schools in Caernarfon County spent an educationally interesting week in the mansion.
    Although some effort was made a number of years ago to make it into a hotel and for a while there was quite a good functions venue there but sadly it didn't last very long. This is probably from when the Immaculate marbled bathrooms and ladies rooms originate.
    It is so very sad to see that the building on the whole is in such a bad state of disrepair and that to return it to anywhere near its former glory is going to take years of work and millions of pounds spent.
    Such a mansion of historical interest with so many stories and legends associated with it should be protected for everyone to enjoy.

      I was disappointed that the inside was actually ugly. I don't mean because of damage or stuff everywhere. It looks like the original beauty is gone other than the stairs. Like it was deliberately changed. Covered wood floors, no fancy details on the ceilings or fancy crown moldings. I'm not sure the green and white tile is original either. Sad.

    One can only imagine what it would have been like to have lived there! Unfortunately the amount of money it would cost to restore this to its original condition would be astronomical and I can’t see anyone doing it. Such a shame to see something so beautiful lost to future generations. I wonder when the last time it was truly occupied was. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure! ☮️💟 Nana

      If you like that place then you'll really love the original Versailles meaning hundreds of years ago in France there was a wealthy man who had a gorgeous palatial home and later the king who was a friend of his and later became his enemy and executed him copied what he built when he himself had Versailles Palace built .
      The video about it is fascinating and he talks about the restoration and how much it costs and will continue to cost .
      The gentleman in the video who is responsible for the repairs and upkeep mentions that it was an ancestor of his who had bought it about 200 years ago and started the Restorations .
      Fascinating vid and he even goes up inside the coppola and behind it .

      I would bet the cost if restoration could go as high at 25 to 35 million. The cost of living there with staff and constant repairs could easily go 200+ thousand per month.
      Then the property taxes!!

    The ancestors on my mother' side lived on the estate and in 1858 went with Lord Newborogh on his yacht in 1858 round the Mediterranean.
    It belonged to Newborough family and in 1951 Chritue's had a week sale,selling marble statues etc.
    The house has 44k square feet with still magnificent entrance hall with Narberth columns.Sitting room.on first floor has an organ and leads on to first floor balcony.
    Two listed G1 bridhes in front of property and 10 mile wall round it,built in 1832.
    My mother remembered parties in the house and Col.Vauhan Wynn who once owned the place.I remember Alice,Dowager Vicountess Hill, daughter of Lod Newbough's sister visiting my home.Guess you could contact Lord Newborough for more info.

    Those little red clay things you saw were unpainted adornments for the outside of the building,usually they are made to look like gargoyles. And usually they adorn the roofline.

    Like most of the stately homes that have been sold after the war and not fared well due to blighting of the area they have been used for a variety of purposes. The lives of being a hospital during the WW2, school then religious orders is the usual trajectory. The park is owned by the council and the house failed as a hotel. Everything in it is just second hand stuff. The prints on the wall with all the men are from Punch magazine and are commonplace for collectors of Victorian caricatures of society men at the time. Nothing inside has anything to do with the original families and is just low end filler for the hotel biz. It’s all reproduction mostly. Some of the furniture is 1910 and that is readily available for sale in the UK for easy prices. Especially when it’s awkwardly large . The house is in repossession since 2020.

    Astonishing that such a magnificent structure can be in that condition. They had better get that roof seen to, it’s the water getting in that does most of the damage. The woodwork! The doors - solid wood, several inches thick. And here I am in my 1999 built house with crappy Masonite hollow core doors. They just don’t build anything like that anymore. If it can’t be saved I certainly hope they reclaim as much as can be salvaged. The value of that alone would be staggering and at least some elements of the house can continue and be enjoyed by someone.

    Those red things that you found were made from a mold and I can see that you did not notice that they went in the ceiling up in the chandeliers they were right there if you look at the video like when you look up at the chandeliers they're stuck right in there LOL

    Just because you find a broken window or unlocked door to enter a private property doesn't mean you're not committing a criminal offence.

    This is crazy! I don't understand why it's left like this. They should continue restoring it.
