Gebeinhaus with quirky skull wood carvings in the framework - the courtyard once served as a cemetery (especially during the plague).

The Aître Saint-Maclou is a former plague cemetery from the Middle Ages. In the 16th century, the burials of plague victims took place in the central courtyard. The complex is decorated with a carved dance of death.
Guided tours and audio guides offer an insight into this tunnel cemetery, which is one of the last of its kind in Europe.

Once the municipality's plague cemetery, the buildings, which were built during the plague year of 1348, now serve as the home of the regional art school. The "Aître Saint-Maclou" is considered to be practically the only surviving plague cemetery of its kind in Europe. The wood carvings on the facades are well worth seeing.
