Brou Royal Monastery

Brou Royal Monastery visitor information

Brou royal monastery is a National Monument of France.

A superb mausoleum with splendid architecture, sculptures and stained-glass windows. The royal church of Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse was built between 1506 and 1532 by Margaret of Austria as a monument to the memory of her husband, Philibert the Fair, Duke of Savoy. It is a masterpiece of the Flamboyant Gothic style and is richly ornamented with magnificent tombs, a fine altarpiece, statues and choir stalls that testify to the artistry of 16th century Flemish craftsmen. A museum is housed in the monastic buildings.
