Note: Sint-Janshospitaal is temporarily closed.
Dating back to the 12th century, Sint-Janshospitaal (or Saint John’s Hospital) housed the sick for more than 800 years. Today, it’s one of the oldest surviving hospitals in Europe—and it’s open to the public. Lucky visitors can tour the chapel, explore the collection of artwork and vintage medical supplies, and even wander medieval wards where monks and nuns did their best to nurture patients.
