Gaustad Hospital

The facility was planned by Herman Wedel Major, based on the model of foreign institutions, and the building complex was designed by architect Heinrich Ernst Schirmer.

[2][3] During the occupation of Norway in 1940–1945, the hospital's workers, knowing German soldiers would send their patients to concentration camps, devised a plan to save them.

When the day came that the soldiers knocked on the door, they threw the urine on every radiator and heater, creating a tremendous stink.

Arnold Juklerød, then a father and construction worker, was forcibly admitted to the Gaustad Hospital in 1971.

The level of care he received from Gaustad's leading psychiatrists became the focus of widespread media attention.
