The Chapel at Former Holloway Sanatorium Virginia Water
The Chapel at Former Holloway Sanatorium Virginia Water, Victorian psychiatric hospital in Virginia Water, Surrey
The Holloway Sanatorium features red brick walls, ornate stone details, and multiple towers arranged across a symmetrical four-story structure spanning 600 rooms.
Thomas Holloway invested £300,000 to construct this mental health institution between 1873 and 1885, creating a facility for middle-class patients requiring treatment.
The institution established new standards in mental health care by providing tennis courts, gardens, and social activities as part of the therapeutic process.
The former hospital underwent extensive restoration in 1994 and now contains 190 residential units while maintaining its original architectural elements.
The building incorporates design elements from both La Sainte Chapelle in Paris and the Cloth Hall in Ypres, creating a distinct Franco-Gothic architectural style.
