On site+
Today, the facility houses a hospital and continues to function as a monastery. The St. Camillus Church is an integral part of the ensemble. The main entrance, originally designed as access to the novitiate and retirement home, now serves as the primary entrance to the hospital. The building's architecture, particularly the expressionist interior design of the Great Hall with its exposed wooden ceiling and unplastered brick walls, is noteworthy. The cloister courtyard, which represents a modern cloister, and the oratory with its preserved art glazing also bear witness to the original design.
