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

Several rooms of the building have been converted into a museum to honor the famed Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, who stayed there in 1889–1890 at a time when the monastery had been converted to a lunatic asylum. At this site, van Gogh created his magnum opus, The Starry Night.

History

[edit]

The monastery was built in the 11th century. Franciscan monks established a psychiatric asylum there in 1605.

Vincent van Gogh's room in Saint-Paul de Mausole
Main article: Saint-Paul Asylum, Saint-Rémy (Van Gogh series)

In the aftermath of the 23 December 1888 breakdown that resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear,[1][2] Vincent van Gogh voluntarily admitted himself to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole lunatic asylum on 8 May 1889.[3][4] Housed in a former monastery, Saint-Paul-de-Mausole catered to the wealthy and was less than half full when Van Gogh arrived,[5] allowing him to occupy not only a second-story bedroom but also a ground-floor room for use as a painting studio.[6]
