Children's Castle, Hospital building in Taka-Töölö, Finland.

The Children's Castle stands as a pediatric care facility with 61 beds, focusing on specialized treatments for young patients in Helsinki's medical district.

Established in 1917 by Sophie Mannerheim and designed by architect Elsi Borg, the hospital relocated to its current building in Taka-Töölö during 1948.

Under the leadership of pediatrician Arvo Ylppö from 1920 to 1963, the facility established Finland's first maternity and child health clinic.

The hospital specialized in pediatric neurology and adolescent psychiatry services until 2018, when operations moved to the New Children's Hospital.

The facility originated as a shelter for single mothers before transforming into a training center for pediatric healthcare professionals.
