History
The Owen family is one of the most powerful - and most ancient - families in Wales. The Owens trace their history to at least 1165, when the illegitimate daughter of Lord Rhys of Deheubarh married Cadifor ap Dinawal, Lord of Castell Hywell. In 1801 Sir Arthur Davies Owen called in architect Joseph Bromfield to create an ornate mansion house for him on the banks of the River Severn. Bromfield created a stunning mansion, one of the best examples of Greek revival style. The house still retains its 18th century Chinese wallpaper. The interiors boast medieval panelling brought from nearby churches at Llangurig and Montgomery.}}
