Heilig-Geist-Spital

the Hopsice of the Holy Spirit was built between 1332-1339 with funds from a wealthy patrician. The wing you see here over the Pegnitz river was built after 1500. The Heilig-Geist-Spital was the building where the jewels of the Roman Empire were stored between 1424 and 1796. While the area behind this structure still remains true to its roots as a senior citizen's home, the pictured building is currently a very popular restaurant.
