Hôtel-Dieu de Bourges, Renaissance hospital in Bourges, France
The Hôtel-Dieu complex consists of three wings forming a U-shape, with a main building oriented north-south and a Renaissance carriage entrance on the south side.
Construction of this medical facility began after the great fire of 1487, which destroyed one-third of Bourges, and the initial buildings were completed in 1526.
The building combines Gothic elements in its chapel and sick room with Classical architecture in its later additions, representing the evolution of French architectural styles.
The former hospital, located at 28 Rue Gambon, ceased medical operations in 1994 and now belongs to the city of Bourges for cultural gatherings.
The structure includes an artificial underground river called Yvrette, which flows near the western edge of the limestone plateau where the building stands.
