The St. Nikolaus Hospital, also known as Cusanusstift, is a significant cultural monument with a fascinating history. This informative tour provides exciting insights into the historic building, its impressive furnishings, and the eventful past of this centuries-old institution.

A particular highlight is the world-renowned library, which is among the most valuable manuscript collections in Europe.
