Gantois Hospice, 15th-century hospital in Lille-Centre district, France.

The Hospice Gantois features four courtyards surrounded by low buildings constructed with brick and stone in Flemish Renaissance architecture style.

Jean de la Gambe founded this hospital in 1460 after his success in alabaster trade, establishing a care facility for thirteen elderly patients.

Eight Augustinian sisters managed the hospital, combining medical care with religious service until 1995 when the facility closed its operations.

Located at 224 rue Pierre Mauroy, the former hospital transformed into a luxury hotel in 2003, maintaining its historical structure and chapel.

The chapel contains the tomb of its founder and displays a 15th-century Stations of the Cross alongside frescoes of Saint Piat.
