The Royal Monastery of Brou is a religious complex situated in Bourg-en-Bresse, in the Ain department of central France. This historical site was built in the early 16th century by Margaret of Austria, daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I and Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. The monastery was designed as a dynastic burial place, following the tradition of the Burgundian Champmol and Cîteaux Abbey, and the French Saint-Denis.
