The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'hôpital fondé par lettres patentes du roi, en 1665. A partir de la chapelle dédiée à Notre-Dame de Pitié et de l'aile à sa droite, les bâtiments hospitaliers n'ont pas cessé de s'étendre, du 17e au 19e siècle, formant un ensemble de plan massé en U. La chapelle, achevée en 1680, a conservé ses dispositions architecturales et décoratives du 17e siècle.

Hospital founded by royal letters patent in 1665. Starting from the chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame de Pitié and the wing to its right, the hospital buildings have not ceased to expand, from the 17th to the 19th century, forming a complex of U-shaped plan. The chapel, completed in 1680, has retained its 17th century architectural and decorative arrangements.
