The first Eisteddfod was held at Ceredigion Castle.
That Castle is now in disrepair, at is the center of the town.
On top of it was built a mansion in Georgian times, in typical Georgian style. This house is also now very run down. The owner having left 20 years ago, when she was elderly and no longer able to deal with the upkeep the house at all. She and her cat had been living in only one part of the house, the kitchen area, because she said it was the warmest part of the house as the walls were 10 foot thick. It turns out that this is the old mediaeval tower of the castle. The back of the house turned out to be made of what had been left standing of Ceredigion Castle which is all the back of the mansion.
The belongings of the last owner, and the furnishings of the Georgian house are still in the house, though that's a condemned house, and the inner Georgian structures are crumbling.
The local council bought the property for I think it was £1.5 million, and they are in need of £3.5 million to restore it.
There's a show on here, featuring several ancient, or newer historical properties, all in need of repair, and about the same amount, and we are supposed to vote for the building we think should get the money.
