| The reforms of psychiatric hospitals carried out since the 1990s, along with contemporary standards for psychiatric care, have led to the closure of many hospitals worldwide and the construction of new facilities. The buildings and grounds of hospitals from the 19th and 20th centuries represent valuable architectural heritage but often become problematic after losing their original psychiatric function. Following their closure, these facilities frequently fall into disrepair due to a lack of ideas for repurposing and the stigma associated with their former use. In less developed countries, psychiatric hospitals still operate in old buildings, but they will likely face similar challenges in the future as they modernize psychiatric care. The study aims to identify trends and new functions that can be assigned to former psychiatric hospitals. Revitalizations of former psychiatric hospitals in 47 European countries were examined. In 17 countries, 59 projects were identified in which former hospitals were repurposed, with the highest number in the UK. Eight new functions were identified, with the most common being conversion into housing or mixed-use developments. Cultural and recreational adaptations were also prevalent, while hotel, educational, medical, and business functions were less common. The examples of revitalization of disused psychiatric hospitals demonstrate how sustainable space management can be achieved while respecting architectural heritage. |
