Dikemark, Psychiatric hospital and heritage site in Asker, Norway
The medical complex contains several departments across multiple buildings, including specialized units for psychosis treatment and psychiatric security services.
The institution opened in 1905 when Christiania city council purchased Dikemark farm to replace the municipal insanity asylum.
The architecture combines Art Nouveau, Neo-Baroque, and Neo-Renaissance styles throughout the buildings surrounding a central administration area.
Visitors can explore the hospital museum in Bjørkelibygningen by calling the main reception at 66 90 87 50 to arrange an appointment.
In 1981, staff discovered film canisters in a janitor closet containing the original cut of the 1928 silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc.
