Hospice de la Charité, Historical monument in Mâcon, France
The Hospice de la Charité features four building sections forming a trapezoidal structure around an inner courtyard, with a stone facade on Rue Carnot.
Saint Vincent de Paul established this institution in 1621 to care for the poor, and architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot reconstructed it between 1752 and 1762.
The north corner chapel displays an elliptical structure with two gallery levels, which allowed patients to attend religious services from their designated areas.
Located at 249 Rue Carnot, the building undergoes complete renovation to create 64 residential apartments and two professional spaces within its historical structure.
A foundling wheel near the entrance, one of the few remaining in France, stands as a testament to its use until its prohibition in 1904.
