Maison de retraite Ferrari
The Maison de retraite Ferrari retirement home in Clamart , a town in the Hauts-de-Seine department in the French region of Île-de-France , was founded in 1878 by the Duchess of Galliera, Maria Brignole Sale De Ferrari . The building constructed by the architect Léon Ginain with a living space of 11,000 m² is embedded in a two-hectare park and houses over 150 residents. Since 2009 the institution has been under the direction of the French branch of the Order of Malta ( Ordre de Malte France ). In 1983 the building was added to the list of French architectural monuments ( Base Mérimée ) as Monument historique .
architecture
The building has three large wings that are horseshoe-shaped and enclose the park. Three other buildings frame a square courtyard with the main building.
In the middle of the main building is the single-nave chapel divided into three bays . Six high arched windows illuminate the interior, which ends in a semicircular apse . This is followed by a slender bell tower, through which a passage leads to the garden.
A media library has now been set up in the former laundry .
