Romanäs sanatorium, Early 20th-century medical building in Tranås, Sweden
Located on a promontory near Lake Sommen, Romanäs Sanatorium features spacious terraces and large windows designed to maximize natural sunlight for patient recovery.
Built between 1905 and 1907 under architect Carl Westman's direction, the sanatorium initially served wealthy tuberculosis patients before transitioning to alcohol treatment in 1960.
The sanatorium represents an era when medical facilities incorporated natural elements into treatment protocols, reflecting early 20th-century healthcare philosophies in Sweden.
Visitors can reach the sanatorium through local transportation services from Tranås, with the facility now under management of Gothenburg Municipality since 1983.
The building maintains its original architectural integrity and stands within a nature reserve, offering views of Lake Sommen and opportunities for wildlife observation.
