	Specially designed landscapes accompanied mental hospitals built in 19th and at the beginning of 20th century and were meant to have a significant therapeutic effect. They often are beautiful English landscape park examples and in Britain they were designed also by famous landscapes architects of that time. Social attitudes towards mental illness caused their isolation which protected them from change for a long time until the healthcare system reform in the UK. The article identifies main threats to historic psychiatric hospitals of that period in Poland referring to British experiences.
