32 Abandoned Resorts From a Bygone Era You Can Still Visit
12. The Resilient Beauty of the Beelitz-Heilstätten Sanatorium

Just outside Berlin, the Beelitz-Heilstätten Sanatorium is a sprawling complex of abandoned hospital buildings with a rich history. Originally built in the late 19th century to treat tuberculosis patients, the sanatorium later served as a military hospital during both World Wars. Today, its decaying halls and overgrown courtyards offer a hauntingly beautiful exploration of medical history and architectural grandeur. The site has become a popular destination for urban explorers and photographers, drawn to its eerie atmosphere and the stories of resilience and recovery that echo through its walls.
