What about the fabulous @hospicesbeaune? This mythical place recalls the entire history of #Burgundy. Also often used for scene filming, like the successful French #movie, #LaGrandeVadrouille, dating back from 1966.
Some famous roof #tiles to admire.. Thus, the #chapel has enough place for you and the former patients… While visiting the center of the town, you couldn’t miss this #HotelDieu, with its #Gothic facades, its glazed roofs, carpeted with #geometric figures in #flamboyant colors. This quaint #monument is part of the heritage of the #HospicesDeBeaune, a #charitable institution created in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, #chancellor of the Duke of #Burgundy and his wife Guigone from Salins.
Thus, there were between 80 and 100 patients staying at the Hôtel Dieu. Along the time, they benefited from the support of several patrons, including #LouisXIV, who financed the construction of a separate room to put patients from different genders apart, in addition to a room dedicated to patients who were able to pay the nursing cares.
But who would suspect that this architectural jewel also contains a collection of some 5,000 #art objects, the most famous of them, would surely be the #LastJudgment #polyptych, realized by the artist Rogier van der Weyden? Preserved from light and humidity, among other major #medieval paintings, in a dedicated #exhibition hall.
The General Inventory of #Bourgogne has been conducting an exhaustive study since 1988 and has brought to light some 2,500 pieces of #furniture (beds, chests, etc.) and 2,500 objects (tapestries, paintings, sculptures, medicine jars, etc.). In this sense, furniture, paintings, and tapestries are regularly the subject of a restoration program.
Don’t also miss a passing through the #boutique, and maybe buy some precious #wine bottles, issued from the Hospices de Beaune‘s annual #Auction, organized by #Christies!
