Practical information

Our Lady of the Rose Hospital

A magical and timeless place: one of the oldest and notably conserved hospitals in Europe!

Founded in 1242, the Notre-Dame à la Rose Hospital is one of the last examples of a complete autarkic hospital site with its farm, gardens, icehouse and cemetery, next to the conventual and hospitable buildings. He is the witness of the mode of operation of the hospitals of the Middle Ages.

This Hôtel-Dieu is exceptional for the state of conservation of the entire site, the diversity of buildings and the wealth of artistic, pharmaceutical and medical collections, presented in their authentic setting. A Hôtel-Dieu was a hospital that provided medical care to soldiers and to people who were too poor to be cared for at home.
