Sanatorium d'Aincourt, Historical tuberculosis hospital in Aincourt, France

The sanatorium complex consists of three identical buildings spaced 400 meters apart, featuring long terraces and frosted glass partitions between patient rooms.

Built between 1931 and 1933, this medical facility became an internment camp during World War II, holding 667 suspected resistance members by May 1941.

The architecture reflects the medical practices of the 1930s, with designs maximizing fresh air exposure through tiered structures and rooftop treatment spaces.

The facility closed permanently in 1987 after medical advances made traditional sanatorium treatments obsolete, though parts may become senior housing.

A forest of pine trees surrounds the complex, planted specifically to enhance air quality for tuberculosis patients during treatment periods.
