In the location's words:

An architectural highlight in Oldenburg's cityscape is the municipal cultural center PFL in the late classicist former Peter Friedrich Ludwigs Hospital on Peterstraße, which was built as a hospital between 1838 and 1841. The three-winged building with its 65 meter long street front, the six-part columned portico and numerous outbuildings has an imposing effect. It makes you forget that the elegantly curved driveway once led to the entrance of a hospital.

The building eventually became too small for its original purpose. After the municipal clinics moved out in 1984, the listed complex was restored and refurbished for cultural purposes.
