Description

Willsmere is a historic architectural marvel of Melbourne. The former Kew Lunatic Asylum opened in 1872 and closed in 1988. One of the most intact 19th-century lunatic asylums in the world, its Italianate and Second Empire buildings were converted in the early '90s to private residences, but retain their heritage listing.

Tour this historic architectural marvel of Melbourne, and see a preserved ward-turned-museum and bluestone cells.
