Hospitalkirche St. Joseph, Catholic church in Bensheim, Germany.
The Hospitalkirche St. Joseph features a rectangular nave with a recessed choir, pointed arch windows, and an octagonal belfry topped with a shingled spire.
Originally mentioned in 817, the church received significant modifications around 1500 with the addition of tracery windows and underwent major renovations in 1869.
The church maintains its role as a religious center, broadcasting Catholic services including the 2020 Whitsun High Mass with Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck.
Located at Hospitalplatz in Hauptstraße 83, the structure displays unplastered walls made of rubble stone with red sandstone framing the windows.
The building initially served dual purposes, functioning as both a sick ward and a place of worship before transitioning to exclusively religious use.
