Monastic complex built from 1506 by Margaret of Austria to house the tomb of her husband Philibert the Fair, in the Flamboyant Gothic style of Brabant architect Louis van Bodeghem. The church of Saint-Nicolas-de-Tolentin holds the sculpted tombs of Margaret of Austria, Philibert the Fair and Margaret of Bourbon, while the three cloisters now house the Musée de Brou.
