The Hospices de Beaune is a stunning example of 15th-century Flemish architecture, originally built as a hospital for the poor. Today, it operates as a museum where visitors can explore the grand Salle des Pôvres (Hall of the Poor), lined with original wooden beds and a vaulted ceiling. The museum also displays a collection of medical instruments, pharmacy jars, and the famous Polyptych of the Last Judgment by Rogier van der Weyden. The colorful glazed-tile roof and intricate courtyard make it one of Beaune's most photographed landmarks. A visit offers a glimpse into medieval healthcare and the charitable work of the Hospices.
