Cloister of Saint-Sever-de-Rustan abbey, Medieval cloister in Jardin Massey, Tarbes, France

The cloister features stone arches, vaulted ceilings, and detailed architectural elements representing medieval monastic design principles in southern France.

Originally built in the 15th century at Saint-Sever-de-Rustan Abbey, the cloister was purchased by Tarbes municipality in 1890 and relocated to Jardin Massey.

The cloister galleries display architectural elements that reflect the religious and artistic practices of medieval Benedictine monasticism in the Hautes-Pyrénées region.

Visitors can access the cloister through the main entrance of Jardin Massey, where guided tours explain the architectural features and historical background.

The complete dismantling and reconstruction of the cloister in Tarbes preserved this medieval structure when its original abbey location faced deterioration.
