This building has only served a purpose for about 20 years. I'm not sure how to exactly describe what the purpose actually was. Wasn't really a hospital, but had signs of it.

The place itself was fairly trashed. The picture is not taken in the former hotel but in the 'hospital'. There were a couple of nice shots and I loved the decay. Outside it was raining quite heavy and we were all alone inside the massive place of over 10.000 square meter.
