CHÂTEAU-LANDON'S HÔTEL-DIEU, a new place of culture! ITS HISTORY In 1178, Jean Vère, abbot of Saint-Séverin, ceded land on which Guillaume aux Blanches Mains, archbishop of Sens, had a hôtel-Dieu built and endowed. This building was built for the benefit of the poor and to welcome pilgrims who came to visit the relics of Saint-Séverin and Saint-Thugal, as well as those from the Rhineland who were on their way to Santiago de Compostela. It is one of the few remaining Hôtels-Dieu in the Paris region, although it was partly destroyed in the 17th century. The repetition of the niches in the wall of the entrance courtyard reveals that the patients' room was originally larger. In 1840, the Hôtel-Dieu de Château-Landon became a girls' school and then a stereotomy school. In 1986, the Hôtel-Dieu was listed as a Historic Monument. The Château-Landon Cultural Centre occupies the former Hôtel Dieu, whose 12th-century medieval hall has recently been restored. This venue is dedicated to the organisation of cultural events throughout the year, mainly art exhibitions, but also all types of events more generally linked to history, culture or heritage. The Espace Culturel invites artists, craftspeople and specialists from all disciplines, giving them the opportunity to showcase their work in a unique venue. Thanks to its unique historical and architectural features and high-quality programming, the Espace culturel aims to be a cultural reference point for the Gâtin region of southern Seine-et-Marne. This large room, vaulted in a series of three cradles resting on four square pillars, is very close to the Romanesque style of the Tournus church. It exudes an atmosphere of harmony and great serenity. The 17th-century altarpiece also benefited from the restoration. It is the work of Pascal Picot, a moulder based in Château-Landon. It is decorated with a vast scallop shell dominated by two angels and a dove, the ‘messenger of peace’, thus regaining their original colours.

The Stone House

We offer moments of sharing and discovery by organizing talks, thematic conferences, exhibitions, activities, etc. throughout the year. The whole history of Chateau-Landon stone is there. From the formation of this very compact lakeside limestone, dating back 35 million years, to the size of the stone used for the construction of bridges and other great Parisian monuments The limestone of Chateau-Landon Located on a rocky outcrop, in the shape of an elongated spur, the old city offers a set of monuments, towers and walls, overlooking the Charcoal valley. The urban landscape is marked by the omnipresence of limestone, from the subsoil of the region. One of the attractions of Chateau-Landon is this complementarity between the particular geological evolution, and a rich historical past. Chateau-Landon stone is a non-freezing lacustrine limestone, formed at the start of the Tertiary geological period. From the 18th century and especially the 19th century, the exploitation of Chateau-Landon limestone will experience famous outlets with Parisian achievements such as the Arc de Triomphe, the foot of the Eiffel Tower or the Alexandre Ill bridge ... The Maison de la pierre brings together two collections: - a collection of tools for quarry workers and stonemasons. - a collection of prehistoric stones. You will also be able to discover the Antiphonaire de l'Abbaye Saint-Severin, the most beautiful work of the Departmental Archives of Seine-et-Marne in video projector.
