Landesirrenanstalt Domjüch, Former psychiatric hospital in Neustrelitz, Germany.
The Landesirrenanstalt Domjüch is a former psychiatric hospital near Lake Domjüch with multiple buildings distributed across spacious grounds. The complex was constructed in 1899 using a pavilion-style design that characterizes the landscape of this region.
