A Mental Hospital (Pavilionul de Bai) Valcea County, România

This is a former mental hospital that had 145 rooms. It was built in an E-shape style and was opened in 1915 despite not being completed. Although 19 more rooms were added later on, they never completed due to World War I. The doctors used electrotherapy and water-based therapy to treat patients.

There was the use of compressed air cabinets as well for patients to breathe in extreme air pressure conditions. It was therapy at that time which was supposed to help patients with respiratory diseases. The tourism of the country dropped due to Communism and it had a big impact on resorts and buildings like this one. So, it is now abandoned.
