Hôtel-Dieu de Bourg-en-Bresse, Historical hospital in Bourg-en-Bresse, France.
The Hôtel-Dieu features a central cloister surrounded by medical buildings and crowned with a distinctive dome at its summit.
The construction of this medical institution began in 1782 under the supervision of Gaspard Chauverêche, following plans by architect Pierre-Adrien Pâris.
The apothecary section contains three chambers including a laboratory, back room, and office with Louis XV woodwork displaying ceramic and glass containers.
Guided tours are available every Saturday at 14:30 throughout the year, with additional Tuesday morning tours during July and August.
The preserved laboratory contains copper stills, mortars, and a 19th-century cast iron furnace that illustrate pharmaceutical practices of past centuries.
