What to expect

Take a walk through the famous still functioning Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital and towards its historic abandoned graveyard, where you'll be introduced to the intense and at times dark history of the field of psychiatry.

Your guide will lead you through a maze of buildings rich in both history and controversy from ancient times to present day. Be prepared to enter a whole new different world stained with torturous and deadly treatments inflicted on the most unfortunate patients who occupied these wards for centuries.

Learn of the torments of 19th and 20th century psychiatric treatments and the agonizing lives of the hospital’s inmates. At last, you'll be led on a path to the cemetery where in seemingly calm fellowship many souls lay at rest; history tells of a different story.
