Les Hospices de Beaune
BEAUNE
The Hôtel-Dieu, with its glazed tile roofs and gothic facades adorned with flamboyantly colored geometrical figures, is part of the heritage of the Hospices de Beaune. This charitable institution was created in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Dukes of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins. It has been preserved in an exceptional state of conservation and is a rare testimony to civil architecture in the Middle Ages. Its rooms contain a vast collection of objects, furniture, and tapestries from the period, the highlight of which is the world-famous polyptych masterpiece of the Last Judgment by Rogier van der Weyden. No trip to Burgundy is complete without a visit to the Hôtel-Dieu.
