Asylum
5/5
Willow Court Asylum
Located in New Norfolk along the Derwent River, 35 minutes northwest of Hobart, Willow Court Asylum (originally the Royal Derwent Hospital / Invalid Barracks) is Australia's oldest continuously run mental health facility. Operating for 173 years from 1827 to 2000, the sprawling 18-hectare complex treated tens of thousands of convict invalids, psychiatric patients, and developmentally disabled individuals. Renowned as Tasmania's most active paranormal site, its vacant wards and solitary cells host lingering spirits.
