Sanatorium de Basile, Belgium, October 2014

This fantastic building was an unplanned adition to our Belgian tour after recieving a tip off.
As it wasn't far off our route it would have been rude not to go and have a look.
It turned out to be the cleanest explore I've done - no decay, electricity still on and even a swimming (therapy?) pool. The place is huge and took some getting round once we'd gained entry.

I've not been able to find much history but various sources claim its has been a TB sanatorium, a residential hospital for the elderly infirm and even an asylum in it's latter years. It was abandoned in September 2013
