Plas Mawr is a beautifully preserved Elizabethan townhouse built between 1576 and 1585 by Robert Wynn, a wealthy merchant. Now a museum, it showcases the opulent lifestyle of the Tudor gentry with its original plasterwork, carved wood paneling, and period furnishings. Visitors can explore rooms such as the great chamber, kitchen, and bedchambers, each decorated to reflect 16th-century tastes.
