The Royal Monastery of Brou is a former monastic complex at Bourg-en-Bresse in central France, built at the start of the 16th century by Margaret of Austria as a dynastic burial place. Its church, constructed between 1506 and 1532, is a lavish Flamboyant Gothic building with Renaissance touches, roofed in coloured, glazed tiles. Its tombs by Conrad Meit have survived where most French royal tombs did not. The church and monastery have been a classified monument since 1862.
