Kenmore Asylum, Heritage psychiatric hospital in Goulburn, Australia
The grand Edwardian-style hospital complex spans 75 hectares of land, featuring multiple wards, administrative buildings, and staff quarters constructed between 1894 and 1900.
The New South Wales Government converted Kenmore Asylum into a military hospital during World War II, relocating psychiatric patients to Sydney institutions from 1941 to 1946.
The Kenmore Hospital Museum preserves medical equipment, photographs, and documents that demonstrate the evolution of psychiatric care practices in Australia from 1895 to 2003.
The former hospital grounds now host guided tours that allow visitors to explore the original buildings, including eight specialized containment rooms and medical treatment facilities.
Former patients left permanent marks throughout the facility, including fingernail scratches on door backs in the isolation rooms, providing physical evidence of past confinement methods.
