Heilig-Geist-Spital
A 14th-century almshouse that spans the Pegnitz, its arcades reflected in the water, making it one of the loveliest riverside views in the Old Town.
Founded in 1332 by the wealthy merchant Konrad Groß, it was once one of the largest charitable hospitals in Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire's crown jewels were kept here for centuries. Today the building houses a retirement home and a traditional Franconian restaurant, where you can enjoy the riverside arcades while you dine. The best viewpoint is from the Museumsbrücke (Museum Bridge).
