St Hywyn church Aberdaron dates back to the 12^th century, and was at one time a considerable distance from the sea. A new Church was built in 1841 on higher ground to the North of the village, due to the sea threatening the old church, but the parishioners were not happy with it, so they left and repaired the old church for use again. Several sea walls have been built in the last hundred years, the last one in 1998.

St Hywyn was restored in 1906 and again over the last two years, and was re opened in July 2006.
