Old Vaasa Hospital, Protected psychiatric hospital in Vaasa, Finland.

The Old Vaasa Hospital is a protected building in Vaasa that now serves as a specialized psychiatric facility. It has around 155 beds and provides treatment for patients who need mental health care under legal supervision.

The hospital was established in 1768 and is one of Finland's oldest medical institutions. Over time it shifted from general healthcare to become a specialized center for psychiatric treatment.

The building is part of Vaasa's historic medical complex and shows how healthcare evolved in Finland over centuries. Visitors can see in the architecture how mental health care became central to the city's welfare.

The building is protected and listed in Finland's Building Heritage Register, so it can be viewed from the outside. The facility works closely with other health organizations across Finland to support the regional psychiatric care network.

The hospital offers around 300 training positions and conducts research in forensic psychiatry. This makes it an important center for training medical professionals and developing new psychiatric treatment methods.
