Hospices de Beaune, Beaune, France
The Hospices de Beaune, or Hôtel-Dieu, is a former almshouse founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor. Its courtyard with glazed polychrome roof tiles is one of the finest examples of 15th-century Burgundian architecture; a famous charity wine auction is held there every November.
