Mynytho's hall{{cite web|url=http://www.penllyn.com/1/compages/mynytho/mynytho.html |title=Mynytho Community Page |website=penllyn.com |date=2000–2009}} occupies a significant place in the history of the struggle for the recognition of Welsh culture and the Welsh language.

The following englyn by the poet R. Williams Parry appears on a plaque mounted on the wall of the hall.

:Adeiladwyd gan dlodi, — nid cerrig

:::Ond cariad yw'r meini;

::Cydernes yw'r coed arni,

::Cyd-ddyheu a'i cododd hi.

In English this means

:It is built of poverty, not stones

:::But love is its masonry,

::Shared aspirations are its timber,

::And shared commitment is what raised it up.

Mynytho is also the site of a small yet highly visible tower that stands on a hill (Foel Tŵr) overlooking the area. The tower, which is popularly known to English residents as the "Jampot",{{cite web|url=http://www.penllyn.com/1/gallery/mynytho/5.html |title=Foel Fawr old Windmill |website=penllyn.com |date=2000}} is an old windmill but was never a success due to crosswinds on the hill, it is identified on maps as being an old mill. The land (Foel Tŵr) on which it stands is owned by the National Trust.

The community supports its own large chapel called Horeb, which stands close to the common land and a springHoly Wells of Wales, Francis Jones, Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru, Cardiff 2003 said to have healing properties. Of historical interest is the older (18th century) but disused chapel (Capel Newydd){{cite web|url=http://www.rcahmw.org.uk/capel/capel46.rtf|title=The Chapels' Heritage Society Newsletter, Autumn 2005: Spring Meeting, Llanidloes|publisher=Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070210184405/http://www.rcahmw.org.uk/capel/capel46.rtf|archive-date=10 February 2007|url-status=dead}} which stands on the left hand side of the road to Nanhoron.
