Vieille Charité

Local name: Vieille Charité

The 17th-century Baroque building was built as a prison for beggars, who were thus attempted to be removed from the city streets. In the 19th century, the closed factory transformed into a shelter and a care home for the poorest. It is now the seat of a museum and a cultural center.
