Dale mental hospital is located in Norway - Stavanger/Sandnes and were up running in 1913 and they could house 193 patients. They did do lobotomi and other crazy treatments. But later on Dale became a farm I think. And I have heard that the patients actually liked being there bc they could be with the animals and go "free" outside bc it was far from everyone else! It was closed for good in 2001!!
From google:
In the 1930s, shock therapy was introduced, and from 1942 electroshock was used in therapy. The first patient was lobotomized in 1953; two years later, sedatives began to be used. In 1973, the hospital had its highest number of patients; 583 people were admitted. In 1975, the hospital received a welfare building with gymnasium, swimming pool and cafeteria. In the 1980s, psychologists arrived, and the place was no longer to be a storage facility, but an institution that worked to get patients so healthy that they could be discharged from the hospital.

Is it easy to get inside and stuff? Looks fun
Yea you could jump in a window or something but the municipality (Kommune) decided to take "boards" in every window, so I don't know how easy it is now
