Craig y Nos Castle

This Victorian Gothic castle was home to the world’s greatest opera singer, who communed with spirits. Now they never leave.

Adelina Patti (1843-1919)

The legendary soprano bought Craig y Nos in 1878:

• She built a private theater inside
• She held regular séances
• She believed she contacted the dead
• She died here in 1919

Her presence remains:

• Opera singing echoes through the theater
