Church of the Holy Spirit

Because this place is part of the City Pedestrian Circuit recommended by the city for tourists, one would expect the church to be at least opened. It was locked on a chain and lock, and absolutely sad. Nothing to evaluate, there was nothing to see, but from the outside it was obvious that the windows are broken and the general condition is very poor.

The Baroque hospital church of the Holy Spirit stands by the hospital between the lower gate and the current hospital. Hospital with the church of St. Ducha originated in front of the Broumov walls in the 14th century. The first written mention of it is from 1407. It was burned down by the Hussites in 1421, restored after 1450. It was rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1689. The current form comes from the reconstruction of the reign of Otmar Zinke from 1735.
