Hovrinskaya (Khovrino) Hospital

Hovrinskaya Hospital, commonly rendered in English as Khovrino Hospital, is an unfinished and abandoned large hospital complex in Moscow's Khovrino (Hovrino) District. Contemporary popular sources report the building was designed to hold about 1,300 beds and remained standing and derelict into the 2010s, with photographic coverage including an aerial photo dated May 18, 2017. Travel blogs, photo essays, and listicle sites have repeatedly featured the site for its visual decay and as an emblem of unfinished post-Soviet architecture. In popular media and online folklore, the hospital is frequently described as "haunted" or associated with urban legends. English-language compilations of Russian strange tales and supernatural lists (e.g., Listverse, Historic Mysteries) and travel/photo coverage (Russia Travel Blog, The Atlantic) present the site primarily as a locus of legend and popular reputation rather than as the subject of documented, corroborated paranormal investigations. The available sources do not provide named spirits, primary witness testimony, dates of specific paranormal events, or official incident reports; instead, they emphasize the site's reputation in folklore and its evocative derelict appearance. Because the reportage consists largely of popular articles, travel blogs, and photo essays, claims about hauntings are best characterized as folkloric reputation and secondary reporting. Factual claims about the hospital's unfinished status, large planned capacity, and location within the Khovrino District are corroborated across multiple sources, while the building's present legal accessibility, detailed ownership history, and any formal remediation actions are not specified in the supplied materials.
