Musée de la Reine Bérengère, Medieval museum in Le Mans, France
The museum occupies three connected timber-framed houses from the 15th century, featuring intricate wooden carvings and architectural details throughout the structure.
Named after Queen Berengaria of Navarre, wife of Richard the Lionheart, who lived in Le Mans and founded the Epau Abbey in the region.
The collections present regional artifacts including wooden clogs, umbrellas, ceramics, and tapestries that reflect daily life in the Sarthe region.
Located in the heart of the Plantagenet City, the museum received 11,295 visitors in 2018 before facing closure in subsequent years.
The building at number 7 displays a carved beam depicting a ram unrolling its fleece, representing the historical textile trade of Le Mans.
