title: [Important asylums in France, Germany and England (1800-1900)].
abstract: This study contains a list of the most significant institutions for the care of the insane and also, at a later date, for mentally ill patients. We had to restrict it to the 19th century only and to the areas of Europe where French, German and English are spoken. Many of the most renowned psychiatrists and their publications are classified according to the asylums where they worked. The author refrained on purpose from any analysis or interpretation, glorifying encomiums or accusations, because from the scientific point of view it is more important to place on record the many names, dates and above all the architectural structures of monuments before they get fallen into oblivion.
