What is recorded here

Castell Bodelwyddan is a castle in north Wales where generations of women learned music, swam in a private pool and played golf before the school closed in 1982. It became a public museum and arts centre, then closed again in 2019 when it went up for sale. The castle has changed owners and purposes many times, and each change left a new mark on its rooms, gardens and walls.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Bodelwyddan; Bodelwyddan Castle; Lowther College as Country House from the Post Medieval; Multiperiod; 17th Century; 19th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bodelwyddan Castle was originally built in the 17th century by the Lloyd family and later expanded in the 19th century by the Lowther family. It is remembered as a significant example of Welsh country house architecture and as the site of Lowther College, a notable educational institution.
