Sanatorium de Borgoumont

The sandstone structure stretches 150 meters with a curved facade facing south, featuring a central bell tower positioned on a wooded ridge.

The sanatorium, designed by architect Émile Remouchamps, opened in 1903 to treat tuberculosis patients through rest therapy and fresh air exposure.

Metal furniture mounted to walls with slanted tops demonstrated the early 20th-century medical understanding of sanitation and disease prevention.

Located at 414 meters elevation, the building stands at coordinates 50.432208, 5.856398, accessible through a winding forest road.

The bell tower functioned as a central ventilation system, distributing fresh air throughout all patient rooms in the facility.
