Facts and practical information
St. Jürgen's Chapel in Itzehoe is a church building that is now one of the city's cultural monuments.
The chapel was built in the Middle Ages as the hospital church of the St. Jürgen Hospital or St. George Hospital, which was located on the then northeastern edge of the city and served as a leper asylum. The first documentary mention of the hospital dates back to 1303 and that of the chapel to 1462, but the date of foundation of both institutions is not known. According to data from the Society for Leprosy Studies, the hospital was first mentioned in 1240. In the mid-17th century, the chapel burned down during the Danish-Swedish War; the present building was erected in 1661.
