The Julia Fazekas Sanatorium, built in 1908 as a private hospital, evolved in the late 1950s to become a center specialized in treating respiratory diseases, reserved for men at that time. Later, it transformed into a specialized medical center offering radiology, medicine, and surgery services, while remaining dedicated to pulmonology.
Then, three years later, the Julia Fazekas Sanatorium was integrated into the intercommunal hospital center of the nearby large urban area, before being permanently transferred a few years later. Closed for nearly 30 years, it now awaits redevelopment into housing.
On site, we observed that the surveyors had already marked and bounded the future plots. Let’s hope this project succeeds, as this old sanatorium nearly rose from its ashes when a project to convert it into a luxury hotel, although well advanced, was never completed.
