Queen Mary Hospital, Hanmer Springs
Queen Mary Hospital, Hanmer Springs, Military and psychiatric hospital in Hanmer Springs, New Zealand
The medical complex includes three main structures: the Soldiers' Block, Nurses' Home, and Chisholm Block, situated on a 15-hectare site near thermal pools.
Established in 1916, the hospital initially treated World War I soldiers with shell shock before expanding services to address various mental health conditions and addictions.
The facility incorporated Māori health principles through the Taha Māori program, demonstrating integration of traditional healing approaches with modern medical treatments.
The Hurunui District Council acquired portions of the property in 2023 to transform the Soldiers' Block into a museum and community space.
The octagonal design of the Soldiers Block maximized natural light exposure and ventilation, following specific architectural principles for patient recovery.
