Psychiatric institution , Salve Mater Belgium.

The Partially abandoned Salve Mater Hospital was a psychiatric hospital which catered specifically for women. The complex opened in 1927 and was established by the Sisters of Mercy. The Main administration building closed in 1997 but was then occupied by an Artists named Pascal Baetens in 2003. The final patients left hospital in 2007 which left the remaining buildings unoccupied. Due to lack of maintenance decay has set in in some areas and because of the artist living on site the place has been left relatively free of vandalism with some original items remaining such as beds and wheelchairs. The site boasts a large administration building still occupied by the artist as residential and studio space. Connected to this are the kitchens and main chapel. There is a small morgue which looks to have had 2 autopsy tables at some point in time but only one remains. There are then a number of large ward buildings which surround the admin building, some have been renovated into new house while other remain in a derelict state.
