St. John’s Mental Hospital/Asylum in Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln, England (via flickr)
The hospital opened in 1852. It was built in Italian style by the architects Hamilton and Thomas Percy. It had 300 patients in the beginning but soon expanded to many more and the hospital was enlarged.
The hospital closed down in 1990 and was sold a few years later to a property developer who has constructed nearly 1,000 new houses in the village. The original hospital buildings themselves are classified as Grade III listed buildings and are protected from demolition. During the redevelopment of the hospital site, a number of these protected buildings were refurbished and converted into flats and offices.

What kind of Asylum has stairs but no railings? For real. It seems like a cool place to visit though.
