Understanding the royal monastery of Brou at Bourg-en-Bresse

• A monument laden with meaning. In the early 16th century, Margaret of Austria (1480-1530), the daughter of Emperor Maximilian I and Regent of the Netherlands, had the royal monastery of Brou built to commemorate her love for her late husband Philibert II the Fair, Duke of Savoy, who died prematurely at the age of 24.
