Sint Elisabeth's Gasthuis, Historical hospital building in Arnhem, Netherlands.
Sint Elisabeth's Gasthuis is a former hospital in Arnhem featuring a T-shaped structure with red brick construction and a slate-tiled roof. The two-story building presents its main facade toward Utrechtseweg, with architectural details that reflect its original medical function.
The building opened in 1893 based on designs by architect Johannes Wilhelmus Boerbooms, with construction completed in 1896. It was established to serve as a hospital for medical care of the local population.
The entrance displays a statue of Elisabeth of Thuringia in a stone niche, reflecting the religious mission of this building. The chapel inside was an important place for patients and staff to seek comfort and support.
The building stands at Sint Elisabethshof 73a and today is divided into apartments managed by a homeowners association. Visitors should note this is now private residential housing and access is limited.
During the 1944 Battle of Arnhem, this building served as a neutral medical facility treating both Allied and German wounded. This role helped many people survive one of the fiercest battles of World War Two in the Netherlands.
