Hospice of Saint Elizabeth in Brno, Religious community and cultural monument in Štýřice, Czech Republic.

The Hospice of Saint Elizabeth is a religious community and cultural monument in Štýřice near Brno, comprising a monastery and chapel. The facility was designed to function as both a place of prayer and practical service to people.

Countess Marie Johana Alžběta of Waldorf donated a house and garden to the Order of St. Elizabeth in 1748; it proved too small, so land near the Svratka was bought and the convent finished at the end of the 18th century. The planned church was never built, only the Chapel of St. Elizabeth. After 1950 the convent served as a charity clinic and retirement home; it was returned to the sisters after the Velvet Revolution.

The convent belongs to the Order of St. Elizabeth, named after Elizabeth of Hungary, and its sisters still work in the hospice on site. The pharmacy furniture of 1754, replaced at the end of the 19th century, was bought back through a public collection in 1906–1907 and given to the city museum; it is now displayed at Špilberk Castle.

The convent stands on Kamenná Street in Brno-střed, near the Svratka. The complex is an active convent and hospice, so visits are limited to the chapel and areas the sisters open; the planned church was never built, only the Chapel of Saint Elizabeth. The pharmacy furniture of 1754 is not here but in the collection of the Museum of the City of Brno at Špilberk Castle.

The Baroque pharmacy furnishings from 1754 were replaced during modernization in the late 19th century. The Elizabethan sisters arranged a public collection, and between 1906 and 1907 donors gave 5,000 crowns so the city could buy the old fittings; they are now kept in the Museum of the City of Brno and displayed at Špilberk Castle.
