Nation Cymru writes:<\/p>\n

An irreplaceable Welsh castle has been saved from collapse thanks to a \u00a32.2m grant which will allow urgent repairs to be undertaken that had previously been halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic\u2026<\/p>\n

The impressive Grade I listed building is one of Britain\u2019s most important castellated mansions and has been identified by Cadw as an irreplaceable cultural asset.<\/p>\n

In more recent years, the castle has gained public attention by becoming the home of ITV\u2019s \u2018I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here\u2019 in 2020 and 2021\u2026<\/p>\n

The funding from NHMF will enable the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust to rescue the castle\u2019s corps de logis (central building) from imminent collapse by undertaking urgent repairs\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 The magnificent example of Gothic architecture was built and designed between 1812 and 1822 by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh FSA as a memorial to his family, around an earlier house.<\/p>\n

The historic site was retained within the same Welsh family for a thousand years and celebrates elements of the finest British castles.<\/p>\n
