The hospital was established in 1918 in the Kallio district of Helsinki. The building was designed by the Finnish architect Elsi Borg. Its current building in Taka-Töölö was completed in 1948.[1]
Pediatrician Arvo Ylppö was the hospital chief of Children's Castle from 1920 to 1963, as was Terttu Arajärvi from 1973 to 1985.[2]
The hospital was discontinued in 2018 when the New Children's Hospital was opened.
