A part of the royal monastery of Brou, the Église de Brou was constructed for Marguerite d'Autriche, who gained royal standing in France, Spain, Savoie, and the Netherlands through successive marriages. She sent the best artists and master craftsmen from the Netherlands to construct the church, with a Renaissance-style façade and mausoleums, tombs, and sculptures dominating the interiors. Her tomb, found inside the church, is richly adorned and you will come across numerous statues of saints. You will also find the magnificently designed tomb of the famous duke of Savoy: Philibert Le Beau. The museum showcases temporary exhibits ranging from paintings of the 16th century to the 20th century. Check website for more details.
