Gothic Arcades, Hôtel-DieuBeaune

994
The arcaded galleries of Beaune’s Hôtel-Dieu (1443) frame a courtyard beneath Burgundy’s polychrome tiled roof. Built to house the poor, the hospice embodied both Christian charity and the prestige of Chancellor Nicolas Rolin. Its timbered gables and flamboyant Gothic ornament remain a hallmark of regional identity, blending devotion, artistry, and civic pride.
