Belgium Red Morgue Hospital - March 2018

Red Morgue Hospital​

 ​

 ​

I couldn't find huge amount history on this location but from what I've gathered the hospital was built at some point in the early 20th century. It was funded by investors and at a time when nursing care was predominately carried out by the clergy. They wanted the hospital to become more secular in order to distance themselves from the church. The hospital was mainly used for surgery and featured several operating theatres but later on a maternity ward and outpatient clinic was introduced. About 90 years later the orginal hospital building was combined with a larger nearby hospital. The Red Morgue hospital was eventually closed around 2013. By this time it was only used to see outpatients, as most of it's services were provided by the new hospital which was more modern and sophisticated. ​

Lovely!  The design and period of the corridors sort of remind me of UK hospitals as a kid in the 90s.  Except the wooden wall protectors were sort of a brown plastic which curved off on the ends!  Nice Morgue too.  Quite a retro place.

Thank you! Does a little bit, didn't really feel like we were in another country! The morgue was definitely a highlight for me ?

That's nice! I like that marble table as well, Im presuming this is a viewing area. Odd that the fridges are in the same area as that unless I am mistaken but it is Belgium. Unless there is a mortuary slab hiding somewhere. I like odd though ?Pics are great, nice work

I think it's all together! It wasn't a very big hospital and I'm assuming it wasn't really built for purpose either. Odd is always good ? thank you very much!
