 St Fagans, Cardiff St Fagans National Museum of History, commonly referred to as St Fagans , after the village in which it is located, is an award-winning open-air museum in Cardiff, Wales and the most popular heritage attraction in Wales. It chronicles the historical lifestyle, culture, and architecture of the Welsh people. The Museum stands on the grounds of St Fagans Castle and gardens, a late 16th-century manor house donated along with 100 acres of beautiful parks and grounds, to the people of Wales by the Earl of Plymouth in 1948. Scattered around the castle grounds are over 50 historic buildings including farmhouses, a row of ironworkers’ cottages, a medieval church, a Victorian school, a chapel and a splendid Workmen’s Institute, brought here from their original sites across Wales and reassembled.  Abernodwydd farmhouse Farmhouse window Abernodwydd Farmhouse: This picturesque timber-framed farmhouse dates to 1678 and comes from Llangadfan, Powys (Montgomeryshire).
