    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 will find facades from different periods here.

    In the Museum of the Hospice Comtesse, you will find an old infirmary as well as works of art, tapestries, furniture and pottery by local artists.

    There are temporary exhibitions in the infirmary. This infirmary, with a chapel at the end, was originally set up as accommodation for pilgrims to Notre-Dame de la Treille. Gradually, the poor and sick of Lille were also accommodated here. Eventually, it grew into a real hospital or hospice. The current infirmary dates from the 15th century.
