BODELWYDDAN CASTLE, NORTH WALES. #4k #northwales #wales #castle #goprohero9 #kapadyak #countryside

Bodelwyddan Castle (Welsh: Castell Bodelwyddan), close to the village of Bodelwyddan, near Rhyl, Denbighshire in Wales, was built around 1460 by the Humphreys family of Anglesey as a manor house. It was associated with the Williams-Wynn family for around 200 years from 1690. It has been a Grade II* listed building since 1962 as a "Gothick castellated style in the early C19". Having been opened to the public as a historic house museum, as of mid 2019, it was up for sale and the historic building was closed to the public.

By August 2019, the grounds and attractions were also closed, but the nearby hotel (independently operated) was not affected.

History:

The castle was bought from the Humphreys by Sir William Williams, Speaker of the House of Commons from 1680 to 1681.

The castle was remodeled in 1805 into a Greek Revival style and then reconstructed between 1830 and 1832 by Sir John Hay Williams, who employed the architects Joseph Hansom (inventor of the Hansom cab) and Edward Welch to refurbish and extend the house; the modifications made it into the castellated style.
