European Heritage Days 2024 - Domaine de Chaalis

The Chaalis estate is a destination of choice for lovers of heritage, art and history. The ruins of the Gothic church and cloister, the chapel with its exceptional décor of Renaissance frescoes and the imposing 18th-century convent building still remain from this former royal abbey founded in the 12th century. Sold during the Revolution and restored by several owners in the 19th century, the estate became the property of Nélie Jacquemart-André in 1902, where she amassed a collection of nearly 6,000 works of art. On her death in 1912, she bequeathed Chaalis and its Parisian hotel to the Institut de France, which has since endeavoured to conserve and restore this exceptional heritage while opening it up to as many people as possible.
