Penrhyn Castle
Penrhyn Castle is a country house in Llandegai, Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales, in the form of
a Norman castle. It was originally a medieval fortified manor house, founded by Ednyfed
Fychan. In 1438, Ioan ap Gruffudd was granted a licence to crenellate and he founded the stone
castle and added a tower house. Samuel Wyatt reconstructed the property in the 1780s.
The present building was created between 1820 and 1845 to designs by Thomas Hopper, who
expanded and transformed the building beyond recognition. However a spiral staircase from the
original property can still be seen, and a vaulted basement and other masonry were incorporated
into the new structure. Hopper's clients were the Pennant family, who had made their fortune
from Jamaican sugar and local slate quarries. As such, it may be viewed as a monument
commemorating the lives of the slaves whose labour and suffering created it. Penrhyn is one of the most admired of the numerous mock castles built in the United Kingdom in
the 19th century; Christopher Hussey called it, "the outstanding instance of Normal revival."
["English Country Houses: Late Georgian" (1988 edition), page 181. ISBN 1851490329] The
castle is a picturesque composition that stretches over 600 feet from a tall donjon containing
family rooms, through the main block built around the earlier house, to the service wing and the
stables.
Penrhyn Castle occupies one acre (.4ha), with curtain walls, four towers and a massive keep. The
main rooms are done in the same style as the exterior, with fairytale Gothic embellishments.
There is a grand hall, library and drawing room, and a grand staircase with carvings of heads and
human hands. An ebony room shows off furniture made of real ebony.
It is in a very solid, sombre style which allows it to possess something of the medieval fortress
air despite the groundlevel drawing room windows. Hopper designed all the principal interiors
in a rich but restrained Norman style, with much fine plasterwork and wood and stone carving.
The castle also has some specially designed Norman style furniture, including a one ton slate
state bed used by Queen Victoria when she visited in 1859. A collection of Old Masters paintings is part of the castle's treasures.
A 40 acre garden surrounds the house. The gardens are decidedly Victorian in character, with a
formally terraced walled garden, lawns, a wild garden, and carefully decorative pools.
In 1951 the castle and 40,000 acres (160 km²) of land were accepted by the Treasury in lieu of
death duties. It now belongs to the National Trust and is open to the public. Penrhyn's attractions
include a formal walled garden, extensive informal gardens, a dolls museum, an industrial
railway museum, a model railway museum and an adventure playground. It has views over the
Snowdonia mountains.
The castle is also used by the People to People Ambassador Program for delegates to rappel
down with the Full On team, a New Zealand group helping children to reach outside their
comfort zones through team building activities.
