Origin and history
The Marie-Richard de Lure was built in 1857 thanks to the legacy of Marie Richard (1804-1852), a bourgeois and unique daughter of a wealthy notary of Lure. She dedicated her fortune to the creation of an establishment for the poor, inaugurated five years after her death. In 1896 the Sisters of Saint-Vincent de Paul managed the town's indigents free of charge and, against 2 francs a day, the patients of the district, with a capacity of 62 beds, 36 of which were reserved for the military.
In the early 20th century, the hospital became a civilian and military hospital, before specializing in retirement homes after the opening of the Mont-Châtel hospital in 1970. The building, an example of hospitable building, was listed as a historical monument in 1986 and labeled "Twentieth Century Heritage". Today integrated into the hospital group of Haute-Saône, it still functions as an EHPAD at the foot of the hospital of Lure.
The protected elements include the facades and roofs of the central building, as well as the chapel with its interior decor and staircase. The building, a public property, illustrates the evolution of the care and reception structures of the elderly in Franche-Comté, from its charitable foundation to its contemporary role in the local hospital system.
