Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy

Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy

Directions Website Call

The house on Malý Val was built in 1843–1845 as a convent of the Sisters of Mercy, right in the former town moat just outside the walls. The walls are well preserved here, and remains of the moat can still be seen in the hospital garden behind the boundary wall.

The street name Malý Val recalls the town fortifications, just like Hrubý Val, today's třída 1. máje. This street curves around the remains of the town walls, which survive together with traces of the defensive moats in the gardens of the courtyard houses.

Today the building is used by the Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy of St Vincent de Paul, a private inpatient facility for follow-up and palliative care. It is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reservation.

Based on a text by Jindřich Spáčil for the memorial plaques of Kroměříž houses.
