History

The hospital was established by converting a mid-19th-century Italian Gothic style mansion into a facility to care for "lunatics and idiots" in 1898.^[1] The mansion, which benefited from a garden laid out by Edward Milner,^[2] was demolished in 1967 and replaced with a modern facility for mentally handicapped patients which opened in 1971.^[3] A medium-secure unit known as Tŷ Llywelyn was subsequently established at the hospital.^[4]

The gardens and grounds by Milner are designated Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.^[5]
