The hospital on Bohaterów Warszawy Street in Nysa was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The master bricklayer Paul Weigmann was responsible for its design, and the facade of the building was designed by Karl Wahlich, an architect working in Wrocław. The three-wing complex had five wards, two operating rooms, and preparation rooms. In the basements, rooms were prepared for sick prisoners and people with dermatological diseases. On the second floor, there was a chapel that still exists today, with stained glass windows depicting Christ healing the sick, created by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen. Outside, bas-reliefs were placed in the portal: in the center, the coat of arms of the town – St. John the Baptist, in the right field – three symbols related to health: the sun, water, and medicine, and in the left – symbols of faith, hope, and love. The hospital was owned by the town, and on the day of its consecration, May 2, 1910, it was handed over to the management of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Elizabeth. The facility remains an operating medical institution to this day. Practical information: The facility is generally accessible (from the outside). Free parking spaces directly below the facility.
