ST. MAURITIUS PRIORY
We see this building in the Royal Palace Park, between the tourist office and the Vénerie Museum. Founded by Saint-Louis between 1262 and 1264 in the center of the Royal Palace, the priory Saint-Maurice was intended to shelter the relics of Saint-Maurice and his martyrs of the Thébaine Legion. A community, composed of twelve canoines and a prior, served this place according to the rule of Saint Augustine. The cloister and church will be shaved shortly after 1789. From the monastic ensemble remains the eastern wing of the priory Saint-Maurice, redesigned until the nineteenth century, whose monks dormitory upstairs has been restored with a beautiful oak frame. On the lawn, on the right, there remains the remains of the chapel of the chapel, the entrance of which was near the logis of the prior.
