A monument born of love and power
Built in the 16th century by Margaret of Austria in tribute to her late husband, the Royal Monastery of Brou is far more than a religious complex. It is home to a sumptuous church, three cloisters, an art museum and a deeply moving personal history.
Its flamboyant architecture, colourful stained glass, sculpted tombs and refined decorative details reflect the splendour of the Burgundian court. Voted France’s Favourite Monument in 2014, the site offers an unforgettable aesthetic and cultural experience.
Through its exhibitions, gardens and concerts, the monastery remains alive throughout the year, bridging a prestigious past with a vibrant contemporary programme.
