Monastery of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole

The Monastery of Saint Paul de Mausole (French: monastère Saint-Paul-de-Mausole) is a former Roman Catholic 10th-century Benedictine priory, then an 11th-century Augustinian monastery in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence, France. It was later administered by the Order of Saint Francis in 1605. Severa

l rooms of the building have been converted into a museum to honor the famed Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, who stayed there in 1889–1890 at a time when the monastery had been converted to a lunatic asylum. Van Gogh created many paintings here, including the well-known The Starry Night.
