Elisabethhospital, Cultural heritage hospital in Kassel, Germany
The Elisabethhospital features sandstone sculptures, including a relief of the Hessian coat of arms at the corner of Oberengasse street.
Founded in 1297 by Mechthild von Kleve, wife of Landgraf Heinrich I of Hessen, the hospital began as a rectangular two-story building with stepped gables.
The upper floor contained a hall that functioned as both a patient room and chapel, dedicated to Saint Elisabeth, the patron saint of the sick.
The building now contains residential apartments and a restaurant, marking a complete transformation from its original medical purpose.
In 1586, Landgraf Wilhelm IV commissioned architect Christoph Müller to construct a Renaissance building using raw quarry stones with corner blocks.
