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.
