Architecture and history

The existence of a poor and infirmary at the site has been documented since 1433. The hospital was previously located on the Weingarten 1 property in the western part of Quedlinburg's old town. Today's plastered building dates back to 1799 and is designed in the late Baroque style. In its appearance it is reminiscent of a palace . The building is covered by a mansard roof on which mid-way houses are placed. To the south towards the Steinweg there is a representative portal with a figure top. The ground floor is a massive construction.

A large three-story, half-timbered wing adjoins it to the northwest . The half-timbered structure of the building, which was built in the 19th century, shows a column rhythm . To the north is another plastered half-timbered house, the facade of which is characterized by profiled window frames. Originally, the house between the cities 1 , which stands further north and was built in 1908, also belonged to the St. Anne's Hospital.

In the vicinity of the complex there are remains of a property fence made of sandstone .
