MUSÉE DE LA CHARTREUSE

The Musée de la Chartreuse is an art museum in a former Carthusian monastery in Douai. Built by Jacques d'Abancourt in brick and stone in the Renaissance style, on the site of the house of the "Colombier", the hôtel d'Abancourt (1559) with its round tower was extended in 1608 by Jean de Montmorency, who added a square building in the same style with a square tower.
