Palais de la Berbie
Palais de la Berbie, Episcopal palace and art museum in Albi, France
The Palais de la Berbie stands along the Tarn River, featuring defensive towers, thick brick walls, and formal gardens overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Construction of the palace occurred between 1228 and 1306, preceding the Papal Palace in Avignon and serving as the residence for the Bishops of Albi.
The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum inside the palace displays the largest collection of works by the French artist, who was born in Albi in 1864.
The palace opens daily with extended hours during summer months, and visitors can explore both the museum collections and the classical French gardens.
Medieval pavement discoveries during recent excavations revealed new information about the original construction and layout of this thirteenth-century fortress.
