Hôpital La Rochefoucauld, Neoclassical monument historique in 14th arrondissement, France.

The La Rochefoucauld Hospital features a U-shaped layout with a ground floor, one upper level, and converted attic rooms within its neoclassical structure.

Founded in 1780 as the Royal House of Health under Louis XVI, the institution initially provided care for impoverished military personnel and ecclesiastical members.

The hospital's architecture, designed by Jacques-Denis Antoine, incorporates elements inspired by the Tomb of Cyrus at Pasargadae in its structural composition.

The facility, located at 15 Avenue du General-Leclerc, closed in 2019 and temporarily served as accommodation for isolated women before housing local police operations.

Behind the main building stands the Regard de Saux, the 25th inspection point of the Medicis Aqueduct, which supplied water to the original hospice.

Location: 14th arrondissement of Paris

Architectural style: Neoclassical architecture
