The Royal Monastery of Brou, a 500 year old marvel

The Royal Monastery of Brou, a 500 year old marvel
On August 28th, 2006, just 500 years ago, Marguerite of Austria, the granddaughter of an emperor and princess of Savoie, posed the first stone of the Royal Monastery of Brou, in homage to a love story. Her love story with Philibert le Beau, whom she was madly in love with and who prematurely died. The result is a pure masterpiece and a jewel of Gothic flamboyant architecture, which absolutely deserves a visit.
