  1. Opened my sanatorium window, someone whistles theme from California Mountain Snake from Kill Bill. I whistle back, they whistle back. Beautiful solidarity. But did we just promise to poison each other? #sanatorium #life

  2. Fall Break – Harastølen

    We stayed for a week last autumn along Lustrafjorden in Norway. While there we thought we would attempt to drive up an unpaved, very steep road up to an old, defunct building complex originally known as Lyster Sanatorium and now known as Harastølen.

    Established in 1902 to treat patients with tuberculosis, it was later used as a psychiatric hospital from 1959 to 1991. Some years later it fell out of use and is now a derelict site that investors are supposedly interested in turning into a resort. While the views down to the fjord were grand, there was no sign of any renovation. Indeed there was some strange detritus about and was an interesting site to wander about before our decent back down the mountain.

    Here are some images of the ruins of the Harastølen sanatorium in Luster, taken last fall.

    As we drove up the many switchbacks (good thing we had an EV with 4-wheel drive), we ended up with a beautiful view now and again Part of the main building, which was fenced off Colorful boards over some of the windows Exposed brickwork and damaged window panes Fencing Sanatorium and single chair The chair Hmmm, another chair The skeleton of a chair View of the entire main building beyond a large pile of … junk A side view and a mossy rock Someone might be thinking about doing some work but no sign of it while we were there One of the chairs facing the fjord view A view from up by the sanatorium #Architecture #Harastølen #Norway #OldBuildings #Photoblog #Photography #Ruins #sanatorium #Travel
  3. 🆕🏛️🇬🇪 New location feature: Sanatorium Metalurgi, Tskaltubo, Georgia

    Completed in 1957, built specifically for metallurgical workers. Guests stayed on site while attending nearby bathhouses for treatments.

    A clear example of Stalinist Empire architecture with a two-storey foyer with a rare surviving Soviet-era chandelier.

  4. An abandoned sanatorium in the mountains of Italy, abandoned since the 1980s. In the years before antibiotics, facilities like this were the only treatment for many health maladies including tuberculosis.
