So...of you're looking for a large town of almost nothing but epic Urbex opportunities, Tskaltubo is it. In short, it was the town where the Soviet Union came to relax and take in the restorative waters that Georgia is known for. The town is nearly complely deserted apart from a couple of...

The Median Klinik in Bad Colberg, Germany, has a rich and fascinating history that spans over a century — from its origins as a spa retreat to its recent abandonment. It all began in 1907, when a highly saline thermal spring was discovered in the area. Recognizing its therapeutic potential, a...

Sanatoriums in the Soviet Union were a key component of the state's healthcare system, designed to provide short-term, often state-sponsored, rest and treatment for a variety of health conditions. Similar to a spa resort, but with medical services. Most of them closed down when the Soviet Union...

Introduction First of all, I’d like to say thanks to admin for organising such a great meet last Saturday. I enjoyed it from start to finish, met some great people, and had some excellent conversations. The after-party was unexpected and bloody brilliant. As me and Jake were already going to...

The Benenden Tuberculosis Sanatorium near Tunbridge Wells is a remarkable example of Royal patronage that evolved in a wholly unexpected manner to produce two, not one, imposing sanitoriums at a time when Tuberculosis was known as the White Plague. The design for the hospital was the winning...

Made a quick visit to this coming home from Scotland. Surprisingly considering the hospital has been gone for ages this old boiler house still sits in the woods. It's nice to see the two Lancashire boilers sitting there untouched. It was quite an enjoyable relaxed visit. The hospital which...

Recently had the opportunity to explore the SCI Cresson Prison. It began as a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1913 then a state hospital and finally a state prison. Eventually would shut down in 2013 as the state citing the antiquity of the prison and rising costs of maintaining it as the primary...

Waterfall Sanatorium / aka Garrawarra Centre / aka abandoned Helensburgh Hospital History The history of the Waterfall Sanatorium is a creepy one. The hospital was opened in 1909, used as a quarantine facility for tuberculosis, which ravaged Australia at the turn of the century. With no cure...

St Albans Sanatorium is located in Radford, Virginia right next to the Radford University campus. One of the most creepiest places I have ever explored from the top floor to the basement. Which actually has an bowling alley. St Albans once operated as a boys school and then later a sanatorium...

Some background information. Somewhere deep in the Belgian ardennes surrounded by the woods, there's this huge, once-beautiful building. It is known as Sanatorium du Basil and it was one of the hotspots for explorers in Belgium for a long time. Around the start of the previous century, this...

History: The history of this old medical building actually began at a completely different kind of function. This function was of a rather grand hotel, it was also quite a success due that the location was right next to a medieval style monastery and it was located just on the border of the Harz...

Only ever seen one report of this place and only know a handful of people who have explored it, I could never seem to find but after a rummage on maps I found it...and of course with some help. Required a bit of sneaking as I didn't want to be seen by the neighbouring farmers on the land. The...

Nice little explore this one, after receiving the pin of another explorer I decided to venture out to see what it was like, although a small building, I really enjoyed it, its been a while since I've done anything closed to Industrial so was nice to wipe a bit of the Industrial urbex rust off. I...
