Llancaiach Fawr Manor
Click to enlarge images below:
Type: Historic House / Palace
Llancaiach Fawr Manor was built originally in 1530 on the site where an earlier medieval castle once stood.
Colonel Edward Pritchard changed his allegiance in 1645 from the Royalist to the Parliamentarian cause and completely redecorated the interior of the castle.
Once you step into the castle, it looks just like it did back in 1645 - it's almost as if time has stood still.
During the day, you can enjoy a tour with servants dressed in period costumes, giving you all the gossip about the area, the master himself and of course any events that may be happening in the area.
However, once darkness falls, the real residents of Llancaiach Fawr Manor make their appearance. Touring in search of the ghosts that remain here is a popular tourist attraction during the winter months. Stated by paranormal investigators, Llancaiach Fawr Manor is one of the most atmospheric and eerie castles in the area.
