Hospices de Beaune
The Hospices de Beaune is a former charitable hospital in Beaune, Burgundy, founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Philip the Good, and his wife Guigone de Salins. Its Hôtel-Dieu, with a roof of glazed coloured tiles, is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture, and Rogier van der Weyden's Last Judgement altarpiece was painted for it. The Hospices still own vineyards whose wine is sold at a famous annual charity auction.
