Bryn Y Neuadd Hospital
Bryn y Neuadd Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Bryn y Neuadd) is a mental health facility in Llanfairfechan, Conwy County Borough, Wales. It is managed by the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
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. The mansion, which benefited from a garden laid out by Edward Milner, was demolished in 1967 and replaced with a modern facility for mentally handicapped patients which opened in 1971. A medium-secure unit known as Tŷ Llywelyn was subsequently established at the hospital.
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.
