The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Un premier hôtel-Dieu existait à cet emplacement dès le 15e siècle. L'édifice actuel fut construit par Mansart vers 1671, sur ordre de Louise de Colbert, fille de Colbert et épouse du duc de Beauvillier. Après une cour fermée par une porte de pierre monumentale, s'inscrivent deux longs bâtiments en équerre, d'un seul rez-de-chaussée, surmonté d'un étage mansardé. La chapelle se place à la jonction des deux bâtiments.

A first hôtel-Dieu existed at this location from the 15th century. The present edifice was built by Mansart around 1671, on the order of Louise of Colbert, daughter of Colbert and wife of the duke of Beauvillier. After a courtyard closed by a monumental stone gate, are inscribed two long buildings in ell-shape, of a single ground floor, surmounted by a mansard storey. The chapel is placed at the junction of the two buildings.
