Covid information : The Richaud space is closed until further notice.

The Richaud space is open during the temporary exhibitions from Wednesday to Sunday from 12 to 7 PM.

It was in the late XVIIth century that Louis XIV created a charity house to meet the needs of his domestics in Versailles. Louis XV made it a royal hospital, with more attributions, and replaced the irregular premises in 1781 with the superb current buildings, completed in the XIXth century.

Jewel of neoclassical architecture, the chapel is the center of the H-shaped architectural ensemble by the architect J.F. Darnaudin. Disused since 1981, the buildings have been the subject of a complete restoration, completed in 2015, and are now primarily used to housing.
