The Hospital Our Lady with the Rose was founded in 1242 and is one of the last examples of a self-sufficient hospital, complete with farm, gardens, ice chamber and cemetery, next to the convent buildings and hospital. It is an example of how hospitals worked during the Middle ages. This religious hospital is remarkable because the whole complex is well preserved but also because of the diversity of the structures and the rich art, pharmaceutical or medical collections, presented in a unique environment. The hospital Our Lady with the Rose, a jewel in the historical heritage of Lessines, was forgotten until the end of the eighties. More than 10 years of courage and hard work by volunteers were needed to save this masterpiece from disappearing and to turn it into a museum.
