Reitgjerdet sykehus, Former psychiatric hospital in Trondheim, Norway.

Reitgjerdet Hospital stands as a multi-building medical complex with traditional Norwegian architectural elements and red brick facades in Trondheim.

The facility operated as a leprosy hospital from 1861 to 1923 before transforming into a psychiatric institution for northern Norway's mental health patients.

The hospital's evolution from leprosy care to psychiatric treatment reflects significant changes in Norwegian medical practices through the 20th century.

The site remains accessible for historical research and documentation, containing medical archives that span over 126 years of institutional operation.

In 1961, this institution became Norway's specialized facility for treating male patients considered particularly difficult or dangerous in psychiatric terms.
