Gasthaus zum Ritter Sankt Jürgen, Medieval retirement home in Husum, Germany
The Gasthaus zum Ritter Sankt Jürgen features a prominent double-gabled facade with Gothic and Baroque architectural elements at Osterende Street.
Duke Adolf initiated major renovations between 1571 and 1574, incorporating residents from a former Franciscan monastery into this care facility.
The chapel contains an altarpiece from 1641 by Dietrich Witt, along with religious artifacts spanning multiple centuries within its walls.
The building maintains its original purpose as a senior residence, operated by a public law foundation under the management of four voluntary stewards.
The adjacent cemetery holds the family vault of notable German poet Theodor Storm, who featured this institution in his novella In St. Jürgen.

Schleswig-Holstein combines historic structures with varied natural landscapes between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The region encompasses castles such as Glücksburg and Plön, medieval monasteries including Cismar and Nütschau, and museums spanning from Viking times to maritime history. Visitors find the Hedeby Viking Museum, Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, and the historic Ratzeburg Cathedral. The natural areas extend from beaches at Pelzerhaken and Rosenfelder Strand to the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and moorland at Kaltenhofer Moor. The Geltinger Birk Nature Reserve and wildlife parks at Eekholt and Arche Warder display native flora and fauna. The Kiel Canal, lighthouses at Westerhever and Amrum, and the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning document the importance of the coastal region.
