The neo-Gothic facade of the Bürgerspital hides behind its 19th-century design a modern community center and event venue. The Bürgerspital took shape within this historic building after a fire destroyed the civic hospital that originally resided here. While the facade was restored, the interiors were reshaped to suit the building's new role as a event center. Here, audiences are treated to a varied program of cultural events including art exhibitions, concerts, theatrical performances and festivals. The Bürgerspital is also home to the city's tourist information center and is the ideal first stop for all tourists in their exploration of Plattling and its environs. Be sure to visit the sculptures that form a part of the Bürgerspital's garden before you leave.
