Kuks Hospital, Baroque hospital complex in Kuks, Czech Republic
The hospital building features architectural elements designed by Giovanni Battista Alliprandi, including a prominent church of the Holy Trinity and underground crypts.
Count Franz Anton von Sporck established the hospital between 1707 and 1715 as part of his vision to create a medical center near mineral springs.
The Spanish Order of Brothers Hospitallers managed the facility from 1743 to 1938, providing care for elderly soldiers and war veterans.
The complex underwent a renovation between 2013 and 2015, funded by 450 million Czech crowns from the European Union to restore buildings and gardens.
The hospital contains a preserved historical pharmacy museum with original Baroque furniture and an extensive collection of pharmaceutical items from different periods.
