Glandorps-Gang (Hospital of the Holy Spirit)
One of the oldest social-welfare institutions in Europe occupies one of the most important monumental buildings of the Middle Ages, with a belfry and four turreted spires. Philanthropic local citizens founded the hospital in 1230. In the early 19th century, when the building was converted to a shelter for elderly men and women, 130 tiny wooden cabins without ceilings were built within its enormous main hall. The cabins remain intact, and you can poke your head inside them.
