Karlshospital, Cultural heritage monument in downtown Kassel, Germany.
Karlshospital is a protected heritage building in central Kassel with a rectangular footprint. The structure displays a mix of historic elements and modern additions with a flat roof after its comprehensive restoration.
The building was created between 1720 and 1721 as a reform institution for troubled children and society's outcasts. Over the centuries, its function changed several times, reflecting its complex past.
The name reflects its use as a hospital during times of conflict in the region. Today, the restored facade and its new functions shape how the building fits into the city center's character.
The restored complex now houses office spaces and a restaurant open to visitors. When visiting, keep in mind that the building sits in an actively used city quarter.
During the Seven Years' War, French forces used the building as a makeshift field hospital for their wounded soldiers. This military episode left lasting marks on the site's history.
