The former pharmacy of the Jesuits of Lyon was installed in 1765 in the hospice built in the 18th century by Pierre-Antoine Caristia. It will seduce you with its artistically carved woodwork and painted canvas ceiling. Located on the ground floor of the old hospice, it serves as a pharmacy for the inhabitants of Montluel from 1765 to 1942. This hospice was built by the contractor Pierre Caristia from 1741 to 1744, then destroyed by a fire, rebuilt and put into service in 1748 with the financial support of the lord of Montluel. The apothecary operated from November 1765 to 1942 and the old hospice until 1976. In addition to the collection of earthenware from the 18th century, the furniture will catch your attention with its richness, including a pietà housed in a shell-shaped niche, bronze mortars, earthenware and porcelain pots and a game table... The Apothecary was listed in the Inventory of Historical Monuments in 1966. Several other furniture elements were classified on January 11, 1961: Paneling of coating and ceiling (woodwork and painted ceiling of the 17th century); pharmacy pots from 1766 in earthenware, art bronze from 1749 made by the bronzier Ducray. On October 11, 2005, another series of furniture items is classified: A game table ordered in 1765 and made by the cabinetmaker François Page, a bronze mortar and pestle dated 1663.
