abandoned asylum
Deserted psychiatric facility
An abandoned asylum is a former psychiatric hospital or mental institution that has been closed and left vacant.
These buildings—often large, isolated Victorian-era complexes—have become iconic settings in horror films and urban exploration.
The combination of institutional architecture, histories of controversial treatments, and associations with mental illness gives them an eerie reputation: We found an abandoned asylum outside town and dared each other to go inside.
