Hôpital Saint-Jacques
In the 13th century, the Hospice Saint-Jacques was a stopover for pilgrims on their way to Compostela. Built outside the village walls of Cultura (Petit Andely), it enabled pilgrims to find lodgings when the village gates were closed.
Towards the end of the 18th century, on becoming lord of Les Andelys, the Duc de Penthièvre, grandson of King Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan, had the hospice rebuilt in 1781 in a manner befitting his high birth, to plans by the architect Gambier. Work lasted four years, and the building was inaugurated with great fanfare on September 27, 1785.
The building can be admired from the banks of the Seine, but also from a vantage point overlooking the dome of the chapel, along the hillside of Grande Randonnée trail no. 2 (GR2).
Listed as a Historic Monument since 1964.
The building is not open to the public and is the subject of a private real-estate rehabilitation project.
