Tretower Court is a medieval and early modern mansion house located in Breconshire, Wales, comprising domestic ranges arranged around a courtyard. The site developed over several centuries, with the earliest stone structures dating from the fifteenth century, though the complex was substantially enlarged and remodeled during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The court exemplifies the architectural transition from fortified medieval dwellings to the more domestically-oriented houses of the early modern period, featuring timber-framed ranges with decorative details characteristic of Tudor building practices. The surviving structures, now in the guardianship of Cadw, include stone and timber-framed buildings that demonstrate the development of wealthy gentry housing in late medieval Wales.
