Museum of Chartreuse of Douai

The Museum of Chartreuse of Douai is a workmanship gallery in a previous Carthusian religious community in Douai, France. It is the 'musee des Beaux-Arts' for the city. Worked by Jacques d'Abancourt in block and stone in the Renaissance style, on the site of the place of the "Colombier", the hotel d'Abancourt 1559 with its round pinnacle was stretched out in 1608 by Jean de Montmorency, who included a square structure in a similar style with a square pinnacle. In 1623 it was procured by the Premonstratensians of Furnes. It at long last observed itself become a home for Carthusian priests amidst the 17th century, by means of the development of a part house and a little order 1663, a refectory 1687, the earlier's lodgings 1690 lastly - after a substantial group and cells which were wrecked in the 19th century - a sanctuary in the Jesuit style.

The present gallery complex incorporates a few 16th, 17th and 18th century structures. To one side is the hotel d'Abancourt-Montmorency, worked somewhere in the range of 1559 and 1608 in the Flemish Renaissance style. Worked in the traditional style toward the beginning of the 18th century, the mind boggling's congregation is comprised of a huge nave and five side churches. The old community is recorded as a Monument historique since 1930 by the French Ministry of Culture.
