History+
The origins of the building complex date back to its time as the Maierhof belonging to St. Nikola Monastery. This function as an agricultural and administrative base for the monastery shaped its early existence. In 1907, a significant change occurred: the Maierhof was converted into the municipal Heilig-Geist- or St.-Josef-Spital. This reorientation marked the beginning of its use in public health services. Today, the historic building functions as a nursing home, thus continuing its tradition of care.
