Beechworth Asylum, Former psychiatric hospital in Beechworth, Australia
The facility encompasses 67 buildings spread across 106 hectares of farmland, featuring orchards, gardens, stables, and recreational areas for patients.
Established in 1867 as Victoria's second asylum, the institution housed over 1200 patients and 500 staff members during its operational peak.
The architectural design incorporated ha-ha walls around patient courtyards, creating an optical illusion of low walls from outside while maintaining security inside.
Evening tours allow visitors to explore the buildings and grounds, with guides sharing information about the institution's 128-year medical history.
The admission process required only two signatures for entry, but eight signatures were necessary for patient discharge, leading to extended stays.
