Renströmska sjukhuset, Former tuberculosis hospital in Gothenburg Municipality, Sweden

The central building of Renströmska Hospital stands on elevated ground, featuring a symmetrical design with multiple wings and large windows across its facade.

The hospital opened in 1913 with 190 beds, funded by merchant Sven Renström's foundation, which contributed 300,000 kronor to combat tuberculosis in Gothenburg.

The facility represented a shift in medical treatment approaches, incorporating outdoor spaces and gardens as essential elements of patient recovery programs.

The main structure transformed into residential apartments in 2008, preserving the original architectural features while adapting to modern living requirements.

Swedish author Harry Martinsson received treatment at this hospital in 1930, spending time in its extensive park during his recovery period.
