Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw

Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw has recently celebrated its centenary and a half making it not only one of Wales’ most picturesque art venues but also its oldest. Nestling in the village of Llanbedrog on the LlÅ·n Peninsula, in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

​

The Grade II* listed dower house, built in 1856/57 for Lady Elizabeth Love Jones-Parry of Madryn Estate, is a prime example of a Victorian Gothic mansion and is situated on the southern coast of the LlÅ·n Peninsula.

​

Plas Glyn y Weddw has a long association with art as it was purpose built to house the widow's own art collection. With its magnificent Jacobean staircase, hammer beam roof and 10 airy gallery spaces, it rightly bears the name Gallery in the Vale of the Widow.
