It was still decades before the Hospice building was handed back to its rightful owners. Only in July 1985 the hospital was closed on sanitary grounds and handed back to its Austrian owners in December of that year. In 1987 the building was completely renovated. Pilgrimage activities resumed in January 1988, and the official opening ceremony took place on 19 March 1988. Since then, guests from all over the world have been able to enjoy the wonderful view of the Old City of Jerusalem from the roof terrace.

Because of the numbers of buildings, it is difficult to find a better view than from here - thank for sharing this photo in the album, Yair.
