Inauguré en 1841, il présente un plan symétrique et s'organise autour d'une chapelle centrale. De part et d'autre, deux ailes rectangulaires avec un pavillon à chaque extrémité complètent l'ensemble.
Par la suite fut édifié le bâtiment Lecoq Dumesnil suivi à l'ouest de trois autres, que l'on désigne toujours par les noms de bienfaiteurs de l'hôpital: Laverne, Destors et Claret
In the 19th century, Pierre de Theillay's Hôtel-Dieu (“hospital”) no longer met the needs of medicine and hospitalization. A new, larger establishment was then built on the site of an old farm belonging to this charitable institution.
Inaugurated in 1841, it has a symmetrical plan and is organized around a central chapel. On either side, two rectangular wings with a pavilion at each end complete the ensemble.
Subsequently, the Lecoq Dumesnil building was followed to the west by three others, which we designate always by the names of benefactors of the hospital: Laverne, Destors and Claret.

Excerpt (in translation): Thanks to consultations of the archives we discover that a new regulation will then govern the new hospital which is to accommodate 22 destitute, sick or injured, and 16 old people, incurable or disabled. A surgeon shall visit the sick every morning, while the nursing sisters distribute the medicines.(Submitted on May 11, 2024.)
During the rest of the 19th century, several buildings were constructed to meet the needs of the hospital.
The Claret building, then known as Saint Vincent, housed the maternity wing. The Destors building was a hospice for the elderly, while the Broquet building (then Saint Pierre) is intended for surgery. The Lecoq Dusmenil pavilion is used for private visits by doctors. Patients and visitors are received in one of the entrance pavilions near the gate. The pavilion was probably destroyed after 1975.
