St. Jost, Trier, Church building and former hospital in Trier, Germany
St. Jost consists of a main leprosarium building, residential structures, a chapel rebuilt in 1706, and a cemetery at the entrance of Biewer district.
The facility received its first documented mention in 1283 as a leprosarium, serving local patients under the jurisdiction of the Abbey of Saint Mary.
The complex hosted a two-day festival where all lepers in the archbishopric gathered for religious services and community support.
The site remains under the ownership of United Hospices, with a preservation association formed in 1988 working on restoration efforts.
A wayside cross near the complex collected donations from passersby, while designated collectors gathered alms door-to-door on specific days.
