Högbo sanatorium, Former tuberculosis sanatorium in Falun Municipality, Sweden
The medical complex consists of several stone buildings positioned on elevated ground above the Lugnet district, featuring early twentieth-century architectural elements.
Constructed in 1910 as part of Sweden's response to tuberculosis, the facility operated with 239 beds, including a dedicated children's ward until the 1960s.
The transformation of Högbo from a medical institution to residential spaces and educational facilities reflects the evolution of Swedish public infrastructure.
The renovated sections of the former sanatorium now contain 14 residential apartments, while other parts serve as facilities for municipal activities.
The original refrigeration rooms remain intact, featuring distinctive Russian-style insulation cells with small round windows positioned near the ceiling.
