Powis Castle
Powis Castle is a medieval castle and grand country house near Welshpool in Powys, Wales, long associated with the Herbert family and notable for its formal terraced Baroque gardens and richly furnished interiors. The fabric of the present building dates from the 13th century, and it was transformed from a border fortress into an aristocratic house over the 17th–20th centuries. The castle and gardens are now cared for by the National Trust.

As it stood in 1920
The shape it held in its prime.
Large rectangular red-brown sandstone castellated house with a crenellated parapet, an almost flat roofline punctuated by tall cylindrical chimney stacks, a prominent rounded tower at the left and a more angular tower at the right, and regular rows of mullioned windows across the façade; the castle sits above a sequence of balustraded stone terraces and an arched loggia, backed by clipped yew topiary domes and formal Baroque garden layouts descending the slope.
