    St. John's Hospital is one of the oldest hospital buildings in Europe, dating from the mid-12th century. The medieval infirmaries and the associated church and chapel house an impressive collection of archival documents, works of art, medical instruments plus seven works by Hans Memling, including the famous Ursula Shrine. Be sure to visit the hospital pharmacy and the Diksmuidezolder, whose oak truss is one of the oldest and most monumental in Europe.

        St. John's Hospital is one of the oldest and best-preserved hospital buildings in Europe, dating back to the 12th century. Sick and needy people were cared for here. Anyone who needed care or a place to sleep was welcome there. The medieval hospital wards with their chapel and impressive attic are now a modern museum.

        The central theme of "hospitality" takes you into the history of care and recovery. A stimulating place with a diverse collection of art and everyday objects. Admire masterpieces by the Flemish primitive Hans Memling, such as the famous Ursula Shrine, as well as a selection of contemporary works of art.

        In addition to the wards, you should definitely pay a visit to the hospital pharmacy with its authentic 17th-century furnishings.
