Holy Spirit Hospital

Nuremberg, Germany

Holy Spirit Hospital (Heilig-Geist-Spital), was built between 1332 and 1339 and was a foundation endowed by the rich Patrician Konrad Groß ("Imperial Mayor") for old and needy people.
After 1500, following designs by Hans Beheim the Elder, it was expanded over the river Pegnitz with the "Sude" and the "Bau".
Today, the Hospice of the Holy Spirit is a municipal senior citizens' home.

I took almost the same image some 30 years ago in B&W http://www.pbase.com/pdbolton/image/87479862) but I must say that yours is so much better in color. I haven't been back to Europe in over 30 years and seeing your images makes me want to go back again soon. Outstanding gallery. Thank you.
