Plas Mawr is a substantial stone-built house in Conwy, Wales, constructed in the late sixteenth century and standing as one of the finest surviving examples of an Elizabethan gentry residence in Britain. Built by Robert Wynn between 1576 and 1585, the house exemplifies the architectural ambitions of a prosperous Welsh merchant and landowner during the Tudor period. The building retains its characteristic features of that era, including decorative plasterwork, mullioned windows, and a courtyard plan, and has been preserved largely intact with minimal external alteration. Now owned by Cadw, it represents an important record of domestic life and wealth among the Welsh gentry in the post-medieval period.
