Lariboisière hospital chapel
Lariboisière hospital chapel, Public hospital in 10th arrondissement, France.
Description
Lariboisière Hospital is a symmetrical complex with ten pavilions arranged in a double-comb pattern near Gare du Nord train station. The facility specializes in neurology, neurochirurgery, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, and operates a level 2A maternity ward with neonatology services.
History
The hospital opened in 1854 following the cholera epidemic of 1832, which exposed the medical needs of Paris. Countess Elisa de Lariboisière funded the project through her bequest, leaving her fortune specifically for this purpose.
Culture
The hospital chapel displays three statues representing theological virtues alongside twelve stained glass windows depicting the apostles, created by Claudius Lavergne. These religious artworks shape the interior space and reflect the spiritual values held by the institution's founders.
Practical
The complex sits within walking distance of Gare du Nord station and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should remember that hospitals are active medical facilities, so some areas may be restricted during working hours.
Did you know?
The buildings pioneered hygienic design principles focused on air circulation and ventilation that influenced medical architects throughout the 19th century. The pavilion system with carefully planned air pathways became a model for hospital construction across Europe.
