Fagereds sanatorium, Former sanatorium building in Falkenberg Municipality, Sweden

The sanatorium stands on a southern wooded slope near the former Lia station, featuring architectural elements designed by Rudolf Lange in the early 1900s.

Between 1912 and 1914, Hallands landsting constructed this medical facility with 96 beds to treat tuberculosis patients during a period of widespread infection.

The facility represents Swedish healthcare evolution, documented through 14 photographs by Chief Physician Victor Steffen showing medical staff and daily operations.

After serving as a tuberculosis treatment center until 1958, the building transformed into a care home, then a hotel, and currently functions as a refugee accommodation.

The structure, initially named Obbhults sanatorium after its location, changed its designation to Fagereds sanatorium and later became known as Liahemmet.
