FRANCE - Leglise de Brou, Gothic style

Leglise de Brou, Gothic style.  It was built between 1506 and 1532 By Marguerite of Austria, Ducheese of Savoiv.  Thanks to Agnies for the card.



"The Royal Monastery of Brou is a religious complex located at Bourg-en-Bresse in the Ain département, central France.

The church was built between 1506 and 1532 in a lavishly elaborate Flamboyant Gothic style, with some classicizing Renaissance aspects. The tall roof is covered in coloured, glazed tiles. Margaret, her second husband Philibert II, Duke of Savoy, and his mother, Margaret of Bourbon, are all buried in tombs by Conrad Meit within the church, which have avoided the destruction that most royal tombs in France have suffered."
