ORIEL PLAS GLYN-Y-WEDDW

Art gallery exhibition space foundation and cultural center

Superb Victorian manor house with Gothic influences, built for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones Parry. Lady Elizabeth's ghost is said to haunt the premises. The manor house was opened to the public in 1896 by a Cardiff family. At the time, it was linked to Pwllheli by a tramway, and the public came to watch concerts and dance performances. In the 1970s, the mansion was acquired by a Welsh artist, Gwyneth ap Tomos and her husband. Today, in addition to exhibitions, it is possible to take art courses here, while staying on site.
