Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole (French: monastère Saint-Paul-de-Mausole) is a former monastery in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence, France. Several rooms of the building have been converted into a museum to Vincent van Gogh, who stayed there in 1889-1890.

History

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

Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh's room in Saint-Paul de Mausole

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]
