Hôtel-Dieu of Tonnerre, Medieval hospital building in Tonnerre, France.
The Hôtel-Dieu features an immense stone hall measuring 96 meters in length with high Gothic vaults and a polygonal apse containing stained glass windows.
Marguerite of Burgundy established this medical institution in 1293, using materials from local quarries and forests to complete construction within two years.
The Great Hall includes four religious altars dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Mary Magdalene, and Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia.
The monument remains open for guided tours throughout the year and accommodates private events with spaces that can host between 20 and 1500 participants.
The building contains a meridian line installed on the floor in 1785, which served as a solar calendar for tracking seasonal changes and time.
