The medieval parish church of St Dyfnog contains a Tree of Jesse window, dating from 1533, described as "the finest glass window in all Wales, exceeded by few in England", which was originally part of Basingwerk Abbey near Holywell. Nearby is St Dyfnog's Well, once a destination for pilgrims.

There is a primary school in a comparatively modern building, and the 16th-century King's Head public house in the village centre.

Llanrhaiadr railway station served the village between 1862 and 1953.
