Médiathèque de l'Hôtel-Dieu, Renaissance library in Dole, France.
The Médiathèque de l'Hôtel-Dieu features a U-shaped structure built on stilts, with a central courtyard and elements from multiple architectural periods.
Constructed in 1613 under Jean Boyvin's direction, this building served as a hospital until 1992 before its transformation into a media library in 2000.
The mediatheque maintains an extensive collection of 80,000 items, including books, magazines, CDs, DVDs, and multimedia resources for public access.
The library opens Tuesday and Friday from 12 to 18, Wednesday from 10 to 18, Saturday from 10 to 17, with dedicated parking for reduced mobility visitors.
The original apothecary room retains its blue painted walls, white panels, and vaulted ceilings that once stored medical preparations.
