Tips from the Community
The Excideuil hospital building, designed in reinforced concrete, is a hospital complex built from 1937, with an interruption during the war, then resumed in 1949. It comprises several buildings including a main hospital in the shape of a comb with a curved plan, with seven levels adapted to the slope of the land, allowing differentiated entrances. The architecture strictly separates the services by floor (medicine, surgery, children, etc.) with rooms open on the south facade to let in light. The building also has a central glass rotunda housing the reception hall and operating rooms, as well as an administrative building with a clock tower. The complex is located in a large sloping park overlooking the town of Excideuil
