Tranquille Sanatorium, former hospital in Canada

Tranquille Sanatorium is an abandoned early 20th-century hospital in British Columbia, Canada. The sprawling complex includes several large buildings with long hallways, large windows, and underground tunnels that once moved laundry and supplies.

The sanatorium opened in 1907 as King Edward VII Sanatorium to treat tuberculosis. After closing in 1958, it reopened in 1959 as a psychiatric hospital and closed permanently in 1983.

The name Tranquille comes from a nearby river and gives the place a quiet meaning. Today, the abandoned buildings and underground tunnels draw history enthusiasts and film crews who explore the shadowy rooms.

Access to the grounds is limited, with occasional guided tours and seasonal events like Halloween shows. The underground tunnels and old buildings require careful walking and proper footwear.

The site has a small medical lab among the deserted buildings that is still in use. Movies like 'The A-Team' and 'Firewall' filmed scenes here in the ghostly halls and tunnels.
