Hospital church, Church building in Hof, Germany.

The Hospital Church is a church building in Hof that was constructed as part of a medieval hospital complex. The structure displays Gothic features and was designed so that the sick and clergy could share the space together.

Construction began in the 13th century as part of care for the sick and needy in Hof. Over the centuries, the church remained an important place of faith and community, even as its uses changed over time.

The church was part of a hospital complex, reflecting how medieval communities linked physical healing with spiritual care. Visitors can sense this dual purpose in how the spaces are arranged and decorated.

Entry is typically free and the building is accessible during daylight hours. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship and respectful behavior is expected.

The church was part of a facility that took in and cared for patients, which was rare and noteworthy in medieval times. This makes it a rare example of how worldly care and spiritual life were integrated into a single structure.
