Maesllwch Castle

Maesllwch Castle features an impressive facade set on a rock-faced stone terrace that encloses a lawn. The castle is constructed from squared and coursed rock-faced sandstone, topped with slated and leaded roofs, which are mostly concealed behind crenellated parapets supported by arcaded brackets. The remaining eastern tower, which was once part of the dining room, is an unequal octagon with three storeys, featuring various cross windows with label mouldings and paned glazing. There are string courses above the splayed plinths of the towers and above the first floor.

The work completed in 1872 is marked by a stone of a slightly redder hue and includes a two-storey square gun tower overlooking the southern terrace, which has an attached corner stair-tower that transitions from square to octagonal. This tower is divided by string courses into four storeys and has a bracketed parapet. The western front, which overlooks the rose garden where the main part of the house once stood, features canted bays from 1951, along with some exposed brick construction.

On the northern side, the tallest tower above the octagonal northern entrance has been demolished, but the tall circular inner tower with its deep bracketed and crenellated parapet remains. To the left, there is a projecting arch-headed porch and a square tower. The stable yard ranges are primarily single storey, accented by two-storey crenellated towers that have similar arcaded corbel tables and mid-wall strings. These structures feature stone cross windows with label hoods set in rusticated stone walls. An arched gate tower with square corner turrets is located at the centre of the eastern side, leading to the forecourt. On the western side of the forecourt, gate piers and elaborate iron gates have been relocated from the original main entrance in Glasbury village.

Little remains of the original fine interiors.
