Prieuré Saint-Victor de Bray

Saint-Victor de Bray chapel displays radiant Gothic architecture with ribbed vaults resting on hooked capitals and sculpted head keystones throughout the structure.

The priory was established in 1249 through Guillaume le Bouteiller's testament before his crusade departure, receiving a prior and five Saint Augustine order monks in 1263.

The monastic buildings, converted into a farm after the French Revolution, were demolished between 1827 and 1836, leaving only the chapel and dovecote as architectural witnesses.

The site, designated as a historical monument in 1943, has undergone restoration work since 2005, enabling concerts and exhibitions in the renovated chapel.

The chapel extends 25.60 meters in length and 7.75 meters in width, featuring windows with double lancets topped by six-lobed roses without columns or capitals.
