Room description

One of our best rooms! Born Theophrastus von Hohenheim, was one of the most influential medical scientists in early modern Europe. After a brief period as a medical student in Italy, he travelled all over Europe and beyond as a military surgeon with the Venetian army, visiting Russia, Arabia and Egypt along the way. He changed his name to Paracelsus (‘equal to Celsus’) to indicate that he wanted to rival ancient medical authorities. Paracelsus also had some training in alchemy, from which he picked up the principle that metals were the key elements which made up the universe, and that they were subject to control by God, the ‘great magician’ who created nature. Paracelsus argued that the body was a chemical system which had to be balanced not only internally, but which also had to be in harmony with its environment. He is credited as the father of toxicology.
His most famous phrase is:“All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. It is only the dose which makes a thing poison.”
Triple room is equipped with balcony, en suite bathroom, heating, air-conditioning, wi-fi and a TV.
