Neil Mackenzie Posted 19 July , 2006 Share Posted 19 July , 2006 I got the attached postcard at the weekend. It shows before and 'after' shots of the Holy Heart Hospital in Ypres. From the relatively small amount of damage on the building I assume it is quite an early 'after' shot. Where was this hospital? I think there used to be a large Asylum just to the west of Ypres - is the Holy Heart that? Many thanks. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 20 July , 2006 Share Posted 20 July , 2006 Neil, the building in the picture is indeed The Asylum. It was rebuilt in almost identical style. It's now the Heilige Hart (Holy Heart) Psychiatric Hospital. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
