The Old General Hospital of Cambrai, located at 20 Rue Louis Blériot, has a rich and fascinating history. Created by letters patent of King Louis XV in June 1752, it was converted in 1754 into the former poorhouse of the Fish Market.
This hospital has been extended and modified several times over the years. In 1910, it was made available to the army to serve as barracks, which led to significant transformations of the interiors1. The facades and roofs of the hospital, as well as certain architectural elements, are protected as historical monuments.
The Cambrai General Hospital is a typical example of 18th-century hospital architecture, with wings built in 1754 and 1786. It played a crucial role in caring for the poor and orphans, and was run by the Sisters of Charity of the Order of Saint Vincent de Paul from 1829.
