The Maison Dieu is a late fifteenth to early sixteenth century building in Dover, Kent, which incorporates substantial remains of a medieval hospital foundation. The structure preserves elements of the earlier medieval charitable institution whilst being substantially rebuilt and adapted during the Tudor period, reflecting the evolving needs and architectural fashions of its era. The building demonstrates the transition between medieval monastic and early modern secular provision of charitable relief, evidenced in its physical fabric and spatial arrangement. Its survival to the present day, despite considerable later alterations, provides important evidence for the history of medieval healthcare provision and the transformation of such institutions during the early modern period.
