Catharijnegasthuis, Medieval hospital in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Catharijnegasthuis stands at Nieuwegracht 63, featuring a seventeenth-century gate that served as the main entrance to the medical facility.
Originally established by Johanniter monks in the 12th century near Vredenburg, the hospital relocated to Nieuwegracht in 1529 due to fortress construction.
The institution reflected medieval healthcare practices by providing separate accommodations based on social status, with wealthier patients receiving private rooms.
The former hospital complex now houses the Museum Catharijneconvent, which opened its doors to visitors in 1974.
The facility transformed from a pilgrim shelter into an academic hospital in 1636, becoming the first municipal and university medical center in Utrecht.
