The hospital was named after the pilgrimage church of Maria Loreto located in the neighboring area . Far outside the city in Sulzfeld an der Wutach there was already an infirmary before 1527 . At the request of the citizens, the infirmary under Landgrave Maximilian von Pappenheim was lifted and demolished on March 16, 1636.

With the redeemed vow of Landgrave Maximilian Franz zu Fürstenberg for recovery from a serious illness, the Loreto Chapel was first built in 1660 at the Capuchin monastery in Haslach and then in 1680/81 the Maria Loreto Chapel in Stühlingen. The Capuchins were entrusted with the pastoral care , they came from the Capuchin monastery Engen (the city of Engen was part of the Principality of Fürstenberg ). With the construction of the Capuchin monastery in Stühlingen in 1743, a small hospital was created next to the monastery due to the nursing activities that are usual for the Capuchins . After the abolition of the monastery, the convent building was converted into a school and from 1857 into a hospital. With the construction of today's hospital from 1928 to 1929, the monastery buildings were vacated again.

Johann Jakob Winterhalter from Villingen founded the first pharmacy in the town of Stühlingen in 1823. In Waldshut consisting Capuchin monastery Waldshut was also active in nursing, there was the hospital Waldshut . The Loreto Hospital is one of the three operating hospitals in the Waldshut district, there are also the St. Blasien Clinic, the Sigma Center , the Wehrawaldklinik and others.
