Bryn-y-Neuadd Mansion Llanfairfechan

A house was built on the Bryn y Neuadd estate at of Llanfairfechan in 1667 for the Roberts family. After John Platt bought the 130 acre estate for his summer residence the original house was demolished and in 1862 a mansion was built by John Platt to the designs of Peter Alley. In 1898 St. Andrews Hospital, Northampton, bought Bryn y Neuadd to provide care for people for what they called “lunatics and idiots.” In 1967 the mansion was demolished and a long stay hospital was constructed on the site.
