Hospital of the Holy Ghost, Aalborg
Hospital of the Holy Ghost, Aalborg, Medieval monastery and hospital in Aalborg, Denmark.
The Hospital of the Holy Ghost features four wings surrounding a quadrangular garden, with Denmark's largest vaulted abbey basement stretching 40 meters beneath.
Lady Maren Hemmingsdatter founded this institution in 1431, donating a house and land to establish a hospice for poor and needy residents.
The Chapter Room contains Renaissance frescoes painted between 1508 and 1520, displaying detailed medieval artistry on the vaulted ceiling.
