At Home in the Orient

The Austrian Hospice of the Holy Family in Jerusalem has had a home in the Orient for more than 150 years. It was inaugurated in 1863. Since 1988, in other words for more than a quarter of a century, the Austrian Hospice has once again functioned as a pilgrims‘ hostel and education center run by the Catholic Church of Austria, after a long interval during which it was used as a hospital.
