Museum of the Treasury of the Hôtel-Dieu

A jewel of Château-Thierry's heritage, the Hôtel-Dieu Treasure Museum transports you through 700 years of history, from its foundation in 1304 by Jeanne de Navarre, Countess of Champagne and Queen of France, to the present day.

A former hospital, a place of welcome and shelter for the sick and the destitute, here you will encounter the Augustinian nuns, including Prioress Anne de la Bretonnière, and Pierre Stoppa, Lieutenant General of the Sun King's armies and a great benefactor of the establishment. From wound care to the salvation of souls, let us tell you the surprising story of this gem, once a hospital, now a museum open to all. An exceptional treasure in the land of Jean de La Fontaine!
