Hôtel-Dieu de Château-Thierry

The Hôtel-Dieu features limestone and red brick architecture with large windows, spanning 1,500 square meters across multiple buildings.

Queen Jeanne de Navarre established the Hôtel-Dieu in 1304, initially providing thirteen beds for the care of sick and elderly residents.

The museum displays 1,400 objects in eighteen rooms, documenting the evolution of healthcare practices from medieval times through the 20th century.

The museum offers guided tours through its medical collections, with exhibits arranged to reflect the hospital's appearance in the 17th century.

During World War I, the facility treated numerous soldiers, including the French poet Guillaume Apollinaire who received care within its walls.
