Background

History

The construction of a house in the castle grounds began in 1808 for John Bowen, partially using the foundations and a 13th-century round tower of the original Cardigan Castle. It was extended in 1827 by David Evans, for Arthur Jones, the High Sheriff of Cardiganshire. The house became a Grade II* listed building in 1961. The castle and house were restored led by the Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust, using £12 million of funding. It re-opened to the public in 2015. The main house became the location for displays about its occupants, the castle and the National Eisteddfod of Wales. The building is also used for luxury guest accommodation.

Description

The front range is a two-storey stucco fronted house with two arched windows either side of the main door and three 12-pane sash windows to the first floor. The front door has a large timber trellis porch. The East Wing rear range is three storeys, stone faced, with a large round tower projecting to the rear. The bottom floor contained a dungeon, coal cellar and a large wash room, while the top floor included a library.
