Lunatic-asylum definition

At Premontre the buildings of the abbey, which was the cradle of the Premonstratensian order, are occupied by a lunatic asylum.

There are large barracks in the neighbourhood, and the Metropolitan lunatic asylum is close to the town.

No troops are now stationed here, and the barracks have been utilized for a jail, a lunatic asylum and other civic buildings.

At Bonneval the lunatic asylum occupies the r8th-century buildings of a former Benedictine abbey.

From the convenient and accessible position of the town, the gaol and lunatic asylum serving for the three south-western counties of Wales - Cardigan, Pembroke and Carmarthen - have been fixed here.
