What is recorded here

Bodlondeb Castle stands in Llandudno as a Post Medieval villa, recorded in the national monument register. It is not a castle at all, but a house dressed in castle language, the kind of name people gave places they wanted to sound important. The real oddity is that it still carries the word castle while doing nothing but standing in a town that has long stopped pretending to be medieval.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Bodlondeb Castle, Llandudno as Villa from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bodlondeb Castle, Llandudno, was built in the late 19th century as a private residence by the industrialist John Trevor Williams. It is remembered for its distinctive architecture and historical association with the expansion of Llandudno as a seaside resort.
