Loborgrad Psychiatric Institution

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Psychiatric Institution Loborgrad or Psychiatric Institution Lobor-Grad , also Psychiatric Institution Lobor (Croatian Doma za psihički bolesne odrasle osobe Lobor-grad ) is an institution for psychosomatic and mental illnesses in Lobor in Croatia . The institution is located in Loborgrad Castle , the construction of which the Keglevich family began in the 17th century.

The castle was used as a clinic for the first time between 1920 and 1923. In 1937 it was opened as a treatment center for psychosomatic and mental illnesses. In 1980 it was expanded so that from that point in time the institution had more treatment options for patients, because the new building created rooms for treatment. In 2002 the institution was given its current name.

Notoriety was the institution during the Second World War in the former fascist Independent State of Croatia (NDH) than by the Croatian Ustasha as KZ Loborgrad was converted, the prisoners mostly Serbs and Jews were, including pregnant women, and their children, and infants.

To this day, nothing reminds us that there was once a women's and children's camp in the institution. Also on the website of the castle or the institution hardly any reference is made to the concentration camp and the crimes committed there.
