In the 1920s, the complex will be expanded and in the 1960s, the sanatorium will merge with another hospital built thirty years earlier.
Today, faced with the needs and technologies whose building can offer, the sanatorium has been gradually abandoned in late 1990. Today, it is desert, left to itself and taggers in the region.
