Chapelle de l'Hospice Comtesse, Medieval chapel and museum in Old Town, Lille, France.

The Hospice Comtesse combines a chapel and museum space, featuring religious artifacts, period furniture, paintings, and ceramics collections within a 17th-century building.

Founded in 1237 by Countess Joan of Flanders, the complex functioned as a hospital for centuries before transforming into a museum in the late 20th century.

The museum displays wooden sculptures, paintings, and documents that illustrate Lille's history from the 16th century through the French Revolution.

The establishment maintains specific opening hours: Mondays from 2 PM to 6 PM and Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM.

The patient ward, rebuilt after a fire in 1468, contains individual wooden niches where each sick person had their own bed.
