France, Beaune, The medieval hospital of Saint-Esprit - Medieval colored roof
Perfectly preserved from the Middle Ages, the Hospices de Beaune Hospital was built in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin. From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, countless sick were taken in and cared for in several of the large rooms by the Sisters of the Hospices de Beaune. In 1971 its medical activities were transfered to a modern hospital, but the retirement home was retained. The Hospices run 61 hectares of vineyards inherited over the centuries and each year since 1859 have organized the most famous wine auction in the world.
