History:

This old art-deco hospital was a tuberculosis preventorium for kids. In the 1970s this hospital had 150 beds. Preventorium’s differed slightly from sanatoriums in that they catered more specifically to patients with an early state of infection. The Dolhain preventorium nestled along the Weser and the railway line Liege-Welkenraedt, knew it’s best days in the 70’s. Due to advances in medicine, that almost completely eradicated tuberculosis, the domain lost its purpose.The hospital was sold in the 1990s to a German company, but nothing has been done with the building so far.​

Explore:

This is an old report, but one i've only just got round to editing with the recent discovery of a memory card containing all the pictures. Was a lovely chilled explore this one, albeit a chilly one with some pretty poor weather. Place is looking a little worse for wear now, but still has some lovely features. Was a complete walk in, which probably explains the poor state it's in, but a site i'm glad i got to see. :D

Love the look of this place, that fire truck has been there a long time. I think it's only recent that the place has been vandalised so much. Great shots (y)
