The Monastère de Brou, located in the town of Bourg-en-Bresse, is a stunning example of flamboyant Gothic architecture. It was constructed in the early 16th century by Marguerite d’Autriche, Duchess of Savoy, as a testament to her love for her deceased husband, Philibert le Beau.
The centerpiece of the monastery is its church, adorned with a polychrome glazed tile roof. Inside the church lie the princely burials of Philibert II of Savoy, Marguerite of Austria, and Marguerite of Bourbon. These tombs are a masterpiece of finely sculpted details, crafted by the best regional and Flemish artists of the time.
One of the remarkable features of the Monastère de Brou is the chapel of Margaret of Austria, which houses a stunning stained glass window depicting the Assumption and a white marble altarpiece portraying the Seven Joys of the Virgin. The altarpiece is adorned with seven niches, each representing a significant event in the life of the Virgin Mary, such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, and the Assumption.
The church's choir also features old stained glass windows, wooden stalls, and a rood screen, all created by master glassmakers from Lyon and other talented artists.
Aside from the church and its treasures, visitors can explore three cloisters within the monastery: the first cloister, the large cloister, and the cloister of the outbuildings. Each cloister offers unique architectural and artistic elements.
Furthermore, the monastic buildings house a municipal museum, where an impressive collection of art is presented. The art collection includes Flemish and French paintings ranging from the 15th to the 20th century, old religious sculptures, Renaissance furniture, Bressan furniture, and Meillonnas earthenware.
A visit to the Monastère de Brou promises to be a delightful experience, showcasing the rich history and artistic excellence of the region during the 16th century. The monastery serves as a testament to the love and devotion of Marguerite d’Autriche to her husband and stands as a timeless masterpiece of Gothic art.
