la Maison de Charenton or "Home of Charenton Saint Maurice," a lunatic asylum, was founded in 1645 by the Frères de la Charité or Brothers of Charity in Charenton-Saint-Maurice, now Saint-Maurice, Val-de-Marne, France. The mental hospital was first under monastic rule before the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul started managing the hospital. There are burials on the hospital campus. Located six miles south-east of Paris, Charenton housed 600-700 patients in the early 1870s. Since the 19th century, the hospital has been noted for the humanitarian care of the middle to upper class residents. Several famous residents have lived here for years, and some buried on the grounds. After a brief period of closure during the French Revolution, the hospital became a state-run institution. Today, the psychiatric hospital is known as the Esquirol Hospital, named in honor of Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol, a respected French psychiatrist.

The old cemetery of St Maurice was located across the street from the church. The area and is today occupied by a kindergarten.
