Origin and history

The Sainte-Agnès d'Arras Hospice is a building located in the centre of Arras, between Rue Sainte-Agnès and Place Saint-Étienne. Built between the second half of the 17th century and the first quarter of the 18th century, it embodies the religious and charitable architecture of this period. Its facades, including that of the chapel dated 1700 with its campanile, as well as the elements on Saint-Étienne Square (dated 1664 and 1676), reflect the styles of the period and its social role.

The hospice was inscribed in historic monuments by decree of January 16, 1947, protecting key elements such as the facade of the chapel, the entrance to 8 Place Saint-Étienne, and the gable on Rue Saint-Étienne. Today, the building belongs to a private company, and its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources. Its inscription bears witness to its heritage importance in the Hauts-de-France region.

Sources also mention an approximate location at 9 Place Saint-Étienne, although the cartographic accuracy is considered poor (level 5/10). The Insee code of the commune, 62041, confirms its anchoring in the department of Pas-de-Calais, in the Hauts-de-France region. No information is available on sponsors or architects involved in its construction.
