Montsalvat, Artist collective in Eltham, Victoria, Australia.

The Montsalvat complex spans 12 acres of land with numerous buildings, including studios, galleries, halls, and residences constructed using reclaimed materials.

Founded by architect and painter Justus Jorgensen in 1934, Montsalvat emerged as a center for creative collaboration and artistic development in Victoria.

The Great Hall, constructed from 1938 onwards, incorporates materials from demolished historic buildings and showcases traditional building techniques like rammed earth.

The facility maintains active artist studios, hosts regular exhibitions, music performances, workshops, and provides spaces for private events and ceremonies.

The buildings combine European architectural elements with salvaged materials from Victorian structures, creating an artistic compound with medieval characteristics.
