Only a ruin remains of the Jämtland County Sinnesslö Anstalt (JLSA), which began operations here in 1915. Until 1991, mentally disabled people from the entire region were cared for here. There was a school building, a workhouse and a nursing home. About eighty people lived in JSLA Furuhagen (German: pine garden). The wards were divided according to the degree of the patients' severe disability. The houses were also divided into boys' homes and girls' homes. Since operations ceased in 1991, the buildings have stood empty and dilapidated. In the spring of 2024, Bräcke municipal council decided to demolish them in the summer of the same year, as the huge "lost place" was becoming an increasing danger to anyone who entered it - legally or illegally. So far (January 2025), however, the house has not been demolished.
