St. Mary's Hospitium in the Museum Gardens

A Hospitium was an inn or guesthouse established by a monastery to house its visitors.  Today this building is an exhibition hall.  Its stone floor dates from 1310; the timbered upper story was added about a century later and restored recently.  The roof was replaced in 1930.
