St.-Josef-Stift Sendenhorst

St.-Josef-Stift Sendenhorst is a hospital and cultural monument in Warendorf District that treats patients with orthopedic and rheumatological conditions. The campus houses multiple departments and combines modern medical care with protected historical architecture.

The facility was founded as a religious institution and later developed into a specialized clinic for orthopedics and rheumatology. This transformation reflects the shift from nursing care to modern specialized medicine.

The complex reflects how medical care and religious tradition have been intertwined in German healthcare, visible in its buildings and layout. This connection remains apparent when walking through the facility and shapes how it operates today.

Visitors should be aware that the grounds include active patient areas, so it is advisable to check in when arriving. Access to monument areas and medical departments follows different rules.

The clinic offers specialized treatment for pediatric rheumatology, a rare service that sets it apart from many other specialist hospitals. This specialization allows young patients to receive expert care within an established medical setting.
