Jehanna van Constantinopel, Countess of Flanders, ordered the construction of the Hospice Comtesse in 1237, as a plea for her husband who was being held captive. The Hospice was completely destroyed by fire in 1468 and later rebuilt and renovated in several phases. For example, you can find facades from different periods here.
