Hospices de Beaune

The Hospices de Beaune, also known as Hôtel-Dieu, was founded in 1443 by the Chancellor of Burgundy, Nicolas Rolin, who constructed the hospital as an almshouse for the poor. Today, the building serves as a museum and continues to endeavour in charitable practices. Its most distinctive feature is its polychrome roof: a stunning design of colourful glazed tiles that rest atop its Northern Renaissance-style structure.
