St. Leonhard, Medieval church in Braunschweig, Germany.

The St. Leonhard church building stands at the center of a historical complex with structures primarily dating from the 19th century.

Founded in the 12th century, the church initially served as part of a settlement for leprosy patients outside the city walls until the 16th century.

The church complex transformed from a medical facility into an educational institution for young women from local families during the 16th century.

The church area, recently renamed from Leonhardplatz to St. Leonhard in 2020, connects to the city through Leonhardstrasse and Körnerstrasse.

The surrounding forest, known as Siechenholz, stretched from Streitberg to Rautheim and defined the early character of this religious settlement.
