The first recorded asylum, known as the "Bethlehem Royal Hospital," was established in 1247 in London, England. Originally created to care for the mentally ill, it became infamous for its harsh conditions and treatment of patients. This institution set a precedent for the development of asylums in Europe, which evolved over the centuries into more structured facilities for mental health care.
