Luis in the Great Hall of the Hôtel-Dieu

Luis stands in the Great Hall of Beaune’s Hôtel-Dieu, where rows of red-draped beds once sheltered the sick and poor. Founded in 1443 as a charitable hospital, the hall’s timber roof, stained glass, and crucifix combined care with devotion. This space embodies Burgundy’s legacy of faith and service, where architecture dignified human suffering.
