Hôpital Marguerite de Flandre, Medieval hospital and historic monument in Seclin, France

The Notre-Dame Hospital combines architectural elements from multiple centuries, with stone and brick buildings arranged around a square courtyard with four galleries.

Founded in 1246 by Marguerite de Constantinople, Countess of Flanders, the hospital initially served as a refuge for pilgrims and poor people.

Augustinian nuns managed the facility for over seven centuries, providing medical care and maintaining the hospital's operations until 2013.

The entrance features a 375-meter lime tree avenue leading to two pavilions that open onto a French garden with a statue of Marguerite de Flandre.

The patient ward, separated from the chapel by a brick partition since the 17th century, represents early medical care arrangements in medieval hospitals.
