Llanrwst Church is located on the banks of the Conwy River close to the centre of the town of Llanrwst. Dedicated to the 6th Century celtic saint Grwst, the Church of St Grwst dates back to the 12th Century and was rebuilt in 1470 and restored in the late 19th Century. The church features a richly carved oak rood screen with meticulous carvings of the Instruments of the Crucifixion (ladder, nails, spear, crown of thorns) in its tracery. The adjoining Gwydir Chapel dates from the early 17th century and has several historically interesting features including memorials to the Wynn family of Gwydir, together with the old cold stone coffin of Llywelyn the Great (Llywelyn ap Iorwerth).
