Hôtel-Dieu de Noyon

The Hôtel-Dieu complex features stone buildings centered around a preserved 17th-century cloister with high walls and a garden.

Founded in 1178 by Bishop Renaud, the hospital expanded in 1180 through a land donation from Jean de Saint-Éloi for constructing medical facilities.

Religious sisters of the Order of Saint Augustine managed patient care, orphans, and pilgrims while maintaining facilities including a church, laundry, and pharmacy.

The cloister section opens for tours during European Heritage Days and serves as an exhibition space complementing Noyon's museums.

Located outside the Gallo-Roman castrum but within medieval walls, the hospital stood near the Via Agrippa, a major ancient Roman road.
