点评:Situated just beside the popular Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools attraction is the historic Queen Mary Hospital, which originally opened as a sanatorium in 1897 before serving as a hospital between 1916 and 2003. Today the old hospital remains as an architectural testament to the early 20th century.
You can also learn a bit about the old hospitals history by way of useful information signs posted around the grounds which are open to walk through. It seems its early purpose was to treat soldiers returning from WWI with mental complications resulting from their experiences during the war. It continued to treat those with mental illness until the 1970s when the hospital became the national centre for treating those with alcohol and drug addiction.
Note: Seems last year (2025) the old Soldiers Block reopened to the public but with irregular and limited times. There was a note posted to the hospital information board. suggesting it was now open on Sunday's 10am-12pm (see attached photo).
翻译:毗邻热门景点汉默温泉 (Hanmer Springs) 的玛丽女王医院 (Queen Mary Hospital) 是一座历史悠久的建筑,最初于 1897 年作为疗养院开放,后于 1916 年至 2003 年间作为医院运营。如今,这座古老的医院依然屹立,成为 20 世纪初建筑风格的见证。
您还可以通过医院内各处张贴的实用信息牌了解医院的历史,这些信息牌也对外开放。医院早期似乎是为了治疗一战后因战争经历而患有精神疾病的士兵。它一直为精神疾病患者提供治疗,直到 20 世纪 70 年代,之后成为国家酒精和药物成瘾治疗中心。
注:似乎在去年(2025 年),旧士兵楼重新向公众开放,但开放时间不规律且有限。医院信息板上贴有一张告示,表明现在每周日上午 10 点至中午 12 点开放(见附图)。
