Bryn Bras Castle
Bryn Bras Castle near Brynrefail in Gwynedd is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival castle in the foothills of Snowdonia, built in the 1830s on the site of an earlier structure and representing the early Victorian enthusiasm for romantic castle architecture in the Welsh landscape.
