Ancien hôpital psychiatrique de l'Yonne, Historical monument and former psychiatric hospital in Auxerre, France
The specialized hospital center of Yonne features architectural elements typical of 20th-century medical facilities, with pavilions spread across 13 hectares.
The institution, established in the 12th century as Grandes Charités, transformed into the Hôtel-Dieu de la Madeleine after receiving Mary Magdalene relics.
The Yonne departmental archives maintain historical records from 1703 to 1970, documenting the evolution of medical practices and hospital administration.
The main building, opened in 1964, contained 469 beds, with 369 allocated to psychiatric care and 100 for patient accommodation.
The transformation of the former hospital merges architectural heritage preservation with recognition of its role in regional medical history.
