Maenan Abbey (formally: The Abbey Church of Saint Mary and All Saints; alternatively: Abaty Maenan, or Maynan Abbey; now Maenan Abbey Hotel) was a monastic religious house located in Maenan, Conwy, Wales. It is situated near Llanrwst. A Cistercians community was founded at Rhedynog Felen near Caernarfon in 1186 by a group of monks from Strata Florida Abbey. In 1190/91, they moved to Conwy, establishing Aberconwy Abbey, and in 1283, they transferred to Maenan after a forced move by order of Edward I, this abbey's founder.[1] Maenan Abbey was dedicated to Saint Mary and All Saints. The monastic community was dissolved c.1538. Reused materials from the abbey were incorporated in Gwydir Castle. Maenan Abbey has been redeveloped into a hotel.
