La Psalette
La Psalette is a manor house in Nantes situated next to the cathedral, made up of connected buildings that grew over time. The structure features stone walls, courtyards that link the sections together, and rooms of varying sizes from different periods.
The building began in the 15th century when the church needed housing for its singers and priests. It expanded and changed over the centuries, eventually receiving legal protection as a historical site.
This place once housed singers and clergy members who served the cathedral next door, shaping how its rooms were arranged and used. You can still see this connection in the simple decoration and the way spaces flow together.
The location is near Nantes Cathedral and easy to reach on foot from the city center. Not all areas may be open to visitors at all times, so it helps to check beforehand about what can be viewed.
The interior features impressive staircases and woodwork crafted with great skill by artisans of the time. These details are often overlooked but reveal much about the craftsmanship valued in the building's era.
