User:Edahon/Tiuru hospital

Tiuru hospital is located in Korvenkylä, Lappeenranta. The property was owned by South-Karelia's hospital district until 2005. Since 2010 it has been owned by the city of Lappeenranta's and Holiday Club Resort's joint-venture Seniori-Saimaa.

The property was designed by architect Jalmari Lankinen. The property was completed in 1939 and initially it was built to be a tuberculosis hospital for the province of Viipuri. The building has also functioned as military hospital, rheumatic- and lung hospital, as well as immigration centre. The area of Tiuru belongs to a significant cultural area. The functionalist style Tiuru hospital's building is secured in the city plan.

Since 2012, the hospital has been vacant and badly dilapidated. The owner, Seniori-Saimaa has applied a change for the city plan, which would permit dismantling the building.

During the Second World War, the hospital functioned as military hospital and field hospital. About half of the Finnish military's wounded soldiers during the winter war were taken care of in the Tiuru hospital.

The hospital consisted of two buildings, the hospital building and thermal center. Both were designed by Jalmari Lankinen and completed in 1939.
