Background
History
Chateau Rhianfa, also known as Plas Rhianfa and the House of Rhianfa, is located on the Menai Strait, between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris. The estate was given to Sir John Williams, 1st Baronet of Bodelwyddan in 1828 by his parents. The house was built for Sir John Hay-Williams, 2nd Baronet of Bodelwyddan, and his wife Lady Sarah Elizabeth Hay-Williams. The architect was Charles Reed (1814–1859, also known as Charles Verelst), although Sir John and Lady Sarah did much of the design work. The builder was John Rogers of Beaumaris, Chateau Rhianfa was also winner of the 2012 Quality Regeneration Tourism Award from the Anglesey Tourism Awards.
