Hospice général de Lille, Historical monument in Old Lille, France.
The 140-meter main facade features Ionic pilasters, a central triangular pediment, and two end pavilions along Avenue du Peuple Belge.
King Louis XV authorized the construction of this establishment in June 1738, entrusting royal architect Pierre Vigné de Vigny to accommodate abandoned children and invalids.
The building plans draw inspiration from the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris, featuring a checkerboard layout around four interior courtyards.
The Institute of Business Administration has occupied the premises since 1996, following a complete rehabilitation of this 18th-century monument.
The former hospital pharmacy maintains its original furnace and preparation room on the ground floor of a wing overlooking the main courtyard.
