Hôpital Augustin-Morvan, Hospital and historic monument in central Brest, France.
Hôpital Augustin-Morvan is a hospital featuring streamline modernist architecture from the 1930s, distinguished by copper roofs and refined facades arranged across multiple stepped levels. The complex combines functional medical layout with architectural craftsmanship, organized around a central courtyard.
The building was designed between 1932 and 1939 by architects Raymond Lopez and Raymond Gravereaux, with original plans for opening before the war. World War II interrupted the project, delaying its final opening until 1951.
The building gained protected monument status in 1997 for its architectural facades and entrance hall. This recognition reflects its importance as an example of modernist design from that period.
The hospital is located on Avenue Maréchal Foch in central Brest with good access via multiple bus lines and tram service. Visitors and patients will find the site easy to reach in an area with various services and transport options.
The hospital site was formerly occupied by Fort des Fédérés, which stood outside Brest's original city walls. This location shows how the city expanded beyond its historical boundaries during the 20th century.
