Treowen, Trefynwy — the most important early 17th century gentry house in the county. Particularly fine open well staircase. Four storey Jacobean house built on a double-pile plan. It was used as a farmhouse from the 1670s to the 1990s so the house has never been remodelled. Everything that you see is the unaltered work of its age.

One of Wales' finest
Panelled rooms, magnificent staircases, delightful gardens, breathtaking views, private woodland walks and a lofty position at the far end of a half mile long drive Wales offer atmosphere, privacy and a very different adventure holiday for the discerning visitor.
Antiquarian Charles Heath's glowing description of Grade I listed Treowen remains as true today as when it was written.
A Noble Mansion. It occupies a commanding situation from whence are surveyed some of the most interesting scenes in Monmouthshire.
Over the entrance is a stone square with the armorial bearings of nine different noblemen and other characters of high rank in this County.
A correspondent dignity pervades the whole of the interior. A staircase two yards wide, of 72 steps, with balustrades, the newels on the quarterspaces two feet round, the whole in solid oak, which still remains perfect, stands unrivalled in the Kingdom.
Dros y fynedfa mae sgwâr carreg gydag arfbeisiau naw gwahanol fonheddwr a chymeriadau eraill o safle uchel yn y Sir hon. Mae’r tu mewn hefyd yr un mor urddasol. Mae grisiau dwy lath o led, gyda 72 gris, balwstradau, pyst grisiau dwy droedfedd ar y landin, y cyfan mewn derw solet, yn dal yn berffaith, does dim grisiau tebyg iddo yn y Deyrnas Unedig.
