Hospital of the Holy Ghost

The Hospital of the Holy Ghost, Aalborg, the buildings of which, albeit now with no religious capacity, are as yet known as Aalborg Kloster, is a previous foundation of the Order of the Holy Ghost in Aalborg, Denmark. It was the healing facility of Aalborg from 1431 to 1953 and is one of Denmark's best safeguarded medieval foundations. These are the most established structures in north Jutland, and the previous healing facility is likewise the most seasoned social organization in Denmark.

In 1434 the house burned to the ground and the present structures were worked to supplant it.

The building contain a retirement home with free condos for the elderly, and also meeting and display rooms. There is likewise a sanctuary where administrations are held by pastorate from the Budolfi Church, now the house of prayer of Aalborg. The present Aalborg Kloster is coordinated in its social care works by a board comprising of the Bishop of Aalborg, a delegate of the North Jutland Region, the chairman of Aalborg, the Chief of Police and two other church agents.
