Cusanusstift, Library and cultural monument in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany
The Cusanusstift, also known as St. Nikolaus-Hospital, contains a library and a wine museum along the Middle Moselle river in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Nicholas of Cusa established the institution in 1458, creating a foundation that combined religious, educational, and medical purposes for the local population.
The library houses numerous manuscripts, including Manuscript 52, which contains the sole complete copy of the medieval text Proverbia Grecorum.
Located at Cusanusstraße 2 in Bernkastel-Kues, visitors can access both the historical library collections and explore the wine museum exhibitions.
The building maintains its original 15th-century architectural elements while functioning as an active center for research, education, and cultural preservation.
