There is growing concern about the deteriorating state of a historic and important 18th century Welsh building that is filled with legend, folklore and intrigue. Nannau Hall, near Dolgellau in Gwynedd, was completed in 1796 but has been empty for the past two decades.
New photos of what the house now looks like inside have been shared by urban exploration site Hidden and Forgotten Wales/England, and they have left nearby residents dismayed. The pictures show the once grand building now tarnished by collapsed ceilings, water-drenched floors and rooms stripped of wood panelling.

North Wales Live reported that the photos have prompted fresh fears that time might be running out for the building, which is being made the subject of a documentary by a local filmmaker who wants to record its sorry state while it’s still possible. It’s understood that Snowdonia National Pak is now exploring the possibility of applying to Cadw - the historic environment service of the Welsh Government - for grant funding in order to carry out emergency repairs.
