Johannes de Deo, Gothic Revival hospital in Mariaplaats, Netherlands.
Johannes de Deo is a former hospital with Gothic Revival style on Mariaplaats in Utrecht. The building displays characteristic features including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and vertical elements that define its symmetrical facade.
The hospital opened in 1896, funded by Jonkheer Frederik Karel Bosch who provided substantial resources for its construction. The facility served the medical needs of Utrecht's population throughout the 20th century.
The building takes its name from a religious community devoted to caring for the sick and serving the Utrecht population. The spaces reflect this mission, with structures designed to support healing and compassionate care.
The building now operates as a conservatory for music education and can be viewed from the outside. Its location on Mariaplaats makes it easily accessible for visitors interested in the historical architecture.
In 1971 the medical rooms were converted into music classrooms when the building became a conservatory with a new purpose. The Gothic architecture creates an unusual and inspiring setting for music instruction.
