Arriving at Invalidovna, there is quite a line along the north wing.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262769
It looks like a 2-3 hour wait.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262770
Well, we planned on getting here at 9 AM, but couldn't make it out the door, so now we wait.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262771
Pretty fierce statues along the top of the facade of Invalidovna
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262767
Walking around Kaizlovy sady, the park north of Invalidovna. A blimp and a guided tour.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262766
Much frolicking in Kaizlovy sady

Another view of the statues atop the facade of Invalidovna
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262764
The line looks long from any angle.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262763
Invalidovna is a giant open square surrounding a central courtyard.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262762
The west end isn't in quite such good condition. The building was constructed from 1731-1737.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262761
Could use a bit of touch up...

A pretty weed growing along the north side of Invalidovna
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262753
We finally make it to the front of the line, after 2 hours!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262752
We should be OK with these restrictions.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262751
Another 30 minutes waiting inside the entrance as a tour group in English is put together.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262749
Statues like this adorn the entrance and stairways inside Invalidovna
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262748
The central courtyard looks quite nice! We were not permitted to roam about.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262747
Another view of the central courtyard from the main entrance.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262745
Starting down the corridor inside the north wing
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262746
Windows from the corridor looking into a patient ward.

Our excellent guide explaining the layout of the building and the horrible flood of 1997.

Our tour group, heading into the corridor to explore
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262740
Entrance into one of the patient wards, stairs heading up to galleries overlooking the main floor.

Another view of the north wing corridor
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262738
Some previous happy visitor left these on the windows into a ward.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262737
Modern windows looking out into the courtyard. The building was the army archive for a while.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262736
This wiring is certainly not up to code!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262735
Multiple locked off wards in the north wing.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262733
Windows high in the hallway to let light and air from the courtyard into the wards.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262732
Details of the arches making up the ceiling of the north wing corridor.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262731
Inside one of the unrestored wards. Damage on the walls is how high the floodwaters reached.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262730
Stairway up to left gallery overlooking the main floor of the ward.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262729
Stairway to the gallery on the right gallery and the flood damaged ward.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262728
Heavily damaged ward locked off. The lock still has a price sticker on it.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262727
Very inviting doorway leading from the north wing into the courtyard.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262726
Strange combination of reflections from the corridor with light from the far end of the ward.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262725
This is the same door as the previous photo, stepping back two feet. Love that superwide!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262724
Now at the northeast corner, admiring the courtyard.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262723
Looking out onto the east wing.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/Day-2-Invalidovna/photo/#15262722
The view back down the north wing corridor, back the way we came.

I waited my turn for this view of the east wing corridor.
