Österåsens hälsohem, Historical sanatorium complex in Sollefteå Municipality, Sweden.

The yellow and white wooden buildings of Österåsens feature large windows and high ceilings designed to maximize natural light and air circulation throughout the facility.

Built in 1901 to commemorate King Oscar II's 25-year reign, the sanatorium initially served as a treatment center for tuberculosis patients until the 1960s.

Under the direction of chief physician Helge Dahlstedt from 1919 to 1951, the facility attracted numerous writers, artists, and musicians seeking treatment.

The facility now operates as a lifestyle medicine center, offering health programs, wellness activities, and conference facilities managed by Region Västernorrland.

The architecture combines Caroline-era influences with national romantic elements, making it a protected heritage site since 1988.
