L’Hôtellerie Sainte-Foy

Over

The Moissac Abbey hostelry has its roots in the 12th century. Converted into a private mansion in the 17th and 18th centuries, it now hosts temporary exhibitions and preserves Romanesque frescoes

The Hôtellerie Sainte-Foy is one of the major buildings of Moissac Abbey.

Designed to accommodate guests passing through, or representatives of the abbey’s many possessions, it also served as the abbot’s residence. Linked to the infirmary, the jardin des simples and numerous chapels, it also played a role in welcoming sick monks and perhaps pilgrims. The tower houses a Romanesque chapel, which retains some of its fresco decoration. Some of the blue of this decoration, representing a “Tree of Jesse” and Christ surrounded by the symbols of the Evangelists, are made of lapis lazuli. Its restoration in 2008 saved it from total deterioration.
