About |

Discover the Hôtel-Dieu des Hospices Civils de Beaune, a hospital founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor to the Dukes of Burgundy, and his 3rd wife, Guigone de Salins. A charitable institution entrusted to the care of hospitable ladies, this ‘palace for the poor’ was dedicated to wanderers and the sick without resources; it remained in operation until 1971. 
 
Known for its polychrome glazed terracotta roofs, the Hôtel-Dieu is a major landmark in the history of hospitals, with its polyptych of the ‘Last Judgement’ by Rogier van der Weyden, its treatment rooms, kitchen, apothecary and collections of furniture and objets d'art.

To help you explore the site, the following visitor resources are available:
> Audioguide: follow Nicolas Rolin and Guigone de Salins as they recount the creation of their hospital and its evolution over the centuries (10 languages for adults / 4 languages for children / 2 audio description versions)
> Educational booklet in French only L’Hôtel-Dieu au XIXe siècle: un hôpital en MOUVEMENT(S)
