Worth a watch! Shows the inside of Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum, Dublin (Ireland) which opened in 1850 and closed in 2022. The hospital was primarily used for “forensic psychiatry,” holding convicted patients.
The video within this link is fascinating in the fact that it shows a POV of entering the hospital and the view of the rooms. Along with commentary with a couple of retired doctors who essentially volunteered to work there.
My work brought here a few times. It was an interesting, but eerie and ultimately a sad place. Felt very sorry for the people there. Notice those holes over doorways around 2.40 minutes in. They dates from 1850 when it was built, and were so the warders/guards could put lamplighters or extinguishers on long sticks into the room without having to be in the room with the patient
