"Heilgeist-Spital is one of the best-preserved hospital complexes in the southern Baltic Sea, next to the hospital in Lübeck, which was first mentioned in 1256. However, at that time it was still inside the fortification belt on Heilgeiststraße, which was named after it. Due to this outsourcing, the Medicinal Spirit Monastery was constantly exposed to siege and destruction.The oldest part of the hospital is the Medicinal Spirit Church, which dates back to the beginning of the 15th century, the small four-story hall church has a straight choir end and is equipped with a Baroque altar structure from the period around 1770. Noteworthy inside the church is the star and ribbed vault.Apart from the west portal, which leads to the waterway, the church has an east portal and two doors on the Ostempore, through which one succeeded in the so-called church It is formed by two parallel two-storey longhouses, which were added to the church around 1645 and were used to accommodate the sick, those in need of care and the elderly. The corridor is closed to the east by a gate that separates the church from the rest of the hospital. In the church a gallery was built in 1680, which probably provided the model for the portico of the town hall. The Heilgeistkirche was a garrison church before 1945 and is today used as a church for the Heilgeist-Jakobi community. The restored church was equipped with apartments. The hospital is adjoined to the gallery, on which small half-timbered houses stand. The whole is a self-contained facility, whose reconstruction began after the fall of time and has now ended.

The Heilgeistkirche is the oldest part of the former Heilgeist hospital and dates from the 17th century, with the surrounding walls being built on the remains of a building from the 14th century. Extensive restorations took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today we can admire the church used by the Heilgeist-Jakobi congregation with a wonderfully green facade.
