Bad Adelholzen nurses' home

The Sisters' Home Bad Adelholzen is a retreat and education house of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vincent von Paul Munich in Bad Adelholzen near Siegsdorf in the Bavarian Chiemgau .

The listed complex was built as a spa house in 1843-46 and consists of a four-storey central building with two symmetrical wings. In 1861 the building was increased.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the spa and bathing business in Bad Adelholzen went bankrupt, and the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vinzenz von Paul, mother house in Munich, acquired the spa and bottling facilities in Bad Adelholzen in 1907 with the aim of setting up a rest home for sisters. The Kurhaus received a house chapel and was used as a nursing home, during World War II as a military hospital and then until 1969 as the Order's hospital. Since 1970 it has been run as an educational institution and later also as a retreat house.

In addition, the sisters bottled the spring and medicinal water, starting in 1919 with the first electric bottling plant. In 1939 the Primusquelle became a state-recognized medicinal spring. The bottling plant is carried out by the Adelholzener Alpenquellen . Adelholzen has been a state-approved spa since 1946 .
