Sint Bavo, Heritage psychiatric institution in Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands.

The Sint Bavo complex includes a two-story monastery building with corner pavilions, a chapel featuring a copper-covered dome, and connecting glass corridors.

In 1913, the Brothers of Charity purchased 35 hectares of dunes to establish this psychiatric facility, which opened in December 1914.

The chapel contains marble floors, dome vaults supported by columns, and previously displayed biblical paintings by artist W. Deumers until 1963.

The main building, chapel, and several residences maintain national monument status, while surrounding pavilions have been demolished for future residential development.

The facility operated without surrounding walls or fences, reflecting progressive psychiatric care practices in the early 20th century Netherlands.
