Kew Lunatic Asylum opened in 1871 as the largest asylum in the Southern Hemisphere, reflecting 19th-century ideas of care, control, and confinement. Once a place of refuge and suffering, it now survives as a rare, largely intact site—reborn through sensitive redevelopment that preserves memory while serving the community today. #KewAsylum #MentalHealthHistory #VictorianHistory #Heritage #lunatic AdaptiveReuse RememberingThePast nationalcrimeandjusticemuseum kew geelong | Geelong Gaol Museum

Kew Lunatic Asylum, later known as Willsmere, opened in 1871 as one of Victoria’s three grand asylums. Built in Italianate style on a Kew hilltop, it was designed to embody “moral treatment” with gardens, space, and light. Instead, it quickly became overcrowded and underfunded, housing over 1,000 patients. Criticised for harsh conditions and mismanagement, it closed in 1988. Today, its grand façade stands as a stark reminder of Australia’s mental health past. #KewAsylum #Willsmere #MentalHealthH
