Klášter a nemocnice alžbětinek Na Slupi, Religious medical complex in New Town, Czech Republic
This monastery and hospital complex in New Town consists of connected buildings arranged around courtyards, with sections dedicated to patient care and monastic life. The facilities include extended recovery spaces for post-operative and post-hospitalization patients, alongside cloistered areas where religious life continues.
The Order of Saint Elizabeth established this facility in 1719 to combine nursing with monastic life in Prague. Over three centuries, the institution has adapted its medical services while maintaining its religious foundation.
The name honors Saint Elizabeth, and the place is shaped by the sisters who work here daily. The monastery and hospital share the same courtyard and spiritual purpose, reflecting a deep bond between prayer and care.
The complex sits in New Town and parts of it are visible from public streets, though it functions as an active medical facility. Most interior areas are reserved for patients, so visitor access to the grounds is limited or restricted.
Few visitors know that the sisters here perform blessings for animals in a small chapel, blending their faith with care for all creatures. This practice reflects the order's broader compassion beyond human patients.
