Heilig-Geist-Spital, Architectural heritage monument in Augsburg, Germany.

The Renaissance quadrilateral structure features an irregular inner courtyard, high pillar arcades, and the Kastenturm tower on its eastern wing.

The hospital foundation dates back to Bishop Ulrich of Augsburg in 1150, making it the oldest municipal institution for sick and elderly care.

The western wing contains the Protestant Holy Spirit Hospital Church, which reflects the religious significance of medical care in medieval times.

The building now houses studios, daycare facilities, senior apartments, and serves as home to the Augsburg Puppet Theater and Museum.

The Kastenturm tower supplied water to three Augsburg fountains for several centuries through an advanced hydraulic system.
