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

Learn of the torments of 19th and 20th century psychiatric treatments and the agonizing lives of the hospital’s inmates.
