In the heart of Remiremont, the abbey palace is a must-see building that bears witness to the town's rich religious and aristocratic past.
This historical monument, which now houses the town hall, is located in the Nobles Dames canonical quarter, a unique architectural ensemble in Lorraine.
Our hotel in Remiremont is just a 5-minute walk from the abbey palace!
Adjoining the Church of Notre-Dame de Remiremont, the abbey palace was rebuilt between 1752 and 1756 under the impetus of Abbess Anne-Charlotte of Lorraine.
Its construction was entrusted to the architect Jean Nicolas Jeannesson, who gave it a classical style inspired by the architecture of the Dukes of Lorraine.
The palace occupies a central place in the history of Remiremont, a former influential women's abbey where the canonesses lived in a setting that was both religious and noble.
The abbey palace is distinguished by its three façades, each offering a different perspective and revealing a unique architectural richness.
The fan-shaped façade opens onto the Olive Garden, the abbess's former private garden, adding an elegant and harmonious touch to the whole.
Facing the Place de l'Abbaye, the main façade, remodeled after the Revolution, presents an original style reminiscent of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Opposite the façade overlooking the Place Mesdames, a paved courtyard and a former icehouse, once used for preserving food, await you.
The interior of the palace will also charm you with its vast rooms, tall windows, and impressive ceiling heights, testaments to the refinement of the era.
