Bürgerspital zum Heiligen Geist
A citizens' charitable hospital and winery founded in 1316. It has one of the most atmospheric Franconian taverns in the old town, and you can buy a glass of wine at the street-side window.
The Bürgerspital was endowed in 1316 by wealthy citizens. It still runs a nursing home on income from its vineyards and is one of the oldest wineries in Würzburg. The street-facing tavern serves Franconian dishes and its own wines. A small window on Theaterstraße sells wine by the glass, and many people drink standing on the sidewalk. The courtyard church and bell chime are worth a look while you're here. The winery offers cellar tours, which must be booked in advance on its website. The tavern is often full in the evening, so reserving a table is advisable.
