Aberconwy

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A Cistercian house founded in 1189 as a daughter house of Strata Florida. The house was moved from its first site near Caernarfon to its second position on land granted by Llewelyn ap Iorwerth near Conwy. When Edward I built Conwy Castle he had the monks moved again, to Maenan, leaving only part of a church behind, now part of the parish church of Conwy. That final monastery at Maenan was dismantled in 1537 following the Dissolution, and the stones were used for other buildings.
