Llanrwst Bridge is a stone arch bridge spanning the River Conwy in the market town of Llanrwst, Denbighshire, constructed in the seventeenth century. The bridge is traditionally attributed to the design of Inigo Jones, though this attribution remains debated among scholars; it was completed in 1636 and represents a significant example of early modern bridge engineering in Wales. The structure comprises three arches of different spans, built in local stone with characteristic rounded cutwaters, and has undergone various repairs and modifications over subsequent centuries. The bridge remains an important historical monument and continues to form a central feature of Llanrwst's built environment.
