Bodelwyddan Castle (Welsh: Castell Bodelwyddan), close to the village of Bodelwyddan, near Rhyl, Denbighshire in Wales, was built around 1460 by the Humphreys family of Anglesey as a manor house. It was associated with the Williams-Wynn family for around 200 years from 1690. It has been a Grade II* listed building since 1962 as a "Gothick castellated style in the early C19".[1] Having been opened to the public as a historic house museum,[2] as of mid 2019, it was up for sale and the historic building was closed to the public.[3][4]
By August 2019, the grounds and attractions were also closed, but the nearby hotel (independently operated) was not affected.[5]
