Housed in the recently restored, mainly 17th century, monastery complex and the Gasthuiskapel with associated infirmary from 1479, this museum guarantees a visit that will undoubtedly bring back memories for a long time.

Using the most modern multimedia techniques, you will become acquainted in a fascinating and educational way with daily life in the old guest house over the centuries, the ins and outs of the Gasthuis sisters who have been responsible for caring for the sick since 1552, with family nursing and the Dimpna legend . A visit to the well-secured treasury is the apotheosis of every visit.

Step into the authentic world of the old Geelse Gasthuis and the Gasthuiszusters Augustinessen. You go back to the 17th century on the beautifully preserved monastery site.

And there's more! The Gasthuis was founded on a legendary place. Let yourself be carried away by the story of Saint Dimpna, patroness of the mentally ill. Discover the local and international cult of Saint Dimpna and the origins of typical Geel family nursing.
