No longer standing
Demolished or destroyed.
Aberconwy Abbey was a Cistercian foundation in Conwy, in the Kingdom of Gwynedd, founded in 1186 by monks from Strata Florida Abbey. Llywelyn the Great endowed it with large land grants, and in 1283 Edward I obliged the monks to move to Maenan so he could build his castle and town at Conwy. Its original church survives, much rebuilt, as the parish church of St Mary & All Saints.
