Fasta paviljongen, Säters mentalsjukhus

The Fasta paviljongen features thick walls, alarm systems, and centrally controlled electric lighting, designed specifically for high-security mental health treatment.

Opening in 1912 with 27 beds, this facility operated as one of only two maximum security psychiatric units in Sweden until its closure in 1989.

The facility treated individuals with severe mental health conditions who committed serious violent offenses, reflecting Swedish approaches to psychiatric rehabilitation.

Located at coordinates 60.3407, 15.7116, the former hospital building remained standing until April 2023 when demolition took place.

The facility included a dedicated exercise yard surrounded initially by wooden fencing, later replaced with concrete walls for enhanced security measures.
