Hospice Saint-Nicolas, Medieval hospital and heritage site in Metz, France.

The Saint-Nicolas Hospital features Gothic architectural elements, including a monumental fountain from 1739 and a portal dating back to 1514.

Founded between the 9th and 11th centuries, this institution served as the largest and wealthiest hospital in Metz until its closure in 1986.

The building contains protected historical furniture and stands as a testament to medieval healthcare practices in northeastern France.

Located at 2 Place Saint-Nicolas in Metz, the structure opens its doors during Heritage Days for architectural exploration.

The hospital received funding through a special tax called 'Death Tax', which gave its name to the nearby Bridge of the Dead.
