Beguinenhaus, Medieval chapel in Havelberg, Germany

The sandstone relief above the entrance displays scenes of Christ's flagellation and crucifixion, created after the year 1401.

In 1390, Dietrich Kremer and his wife Elisabeth established an altar dedicated to the Holy Spirit and Saint Andrew in the hospital chapel.

During the Reformation period, the hospital transformed into a Beguinage where women provided nursing care and prepared the deceased for burial.

The chapel includes an information panel as part of the historical city tour, with printed guides available at the tourist office.

The Holy Spirit Chapel remains one of two surviving medieval structures on the city island, alongside the town church.
