Guided tour at St. Nikolaus Hospital / Cusanus Foundation

Immerse yourself in the lively history of one of the region's most significant cultural monuments: During the open tour of the St. Nikolaus Hospital – also known as Cusanusstift – you will learn fascinating details about the historical building, its impressive furnishings, and the turbulent past of this centuries-old institution.

At the center is Nikolaus of Kues: philosopher, theologian, and humanist of the 15th century. Get to know the founder and his ideas more closely – and find out why his influence continues to shape the convent to this day. A special highlight is the world-famous library with its valuable collection of historical manuscripts.

The tour also sheds light on the long history of social welfare in Cusanusstift: from its founding to its current use as an elderly and nursing home. Look forward to an informative insight into the interplay of history, humanity, and spiritual heritage.
