À propos
The Jardin du Musée de la Princerie, located in the heart of Verdun, is a peaceful place combining history and art. Built in the 1930s in the spirit of a "lapidary museum", it features architectural and sculptural elements in the open air, creating an atmosphere conducive to contemplation.
Among the garden's highlights are Merovingian sarcophagi discovered around Verdun's main churches and abbeys. These remains bear witness to the rich history of the region during the Merovingian period. Another remarkable feature is the Gothic portal from the chapter house of the former Abbey of Saint-Vanne, set in the garden's median. Dating from the 13th century, this portal illustrates the religious architecture of the period and adds a historical dimension to the site.
The garden is also home to an approximately 150-year-old sycamore maple, measuring between 25 and 30 meters in height, with a circumference of 4 meters and a diameter of 1.27 meters. This majestic tree adds a touch of nature to the garden's historic setting.
Accessible free of charge all year round, the Musée de la Princerie Garden offers visitors an immersion in the history of Verdun, while providing a space for relaxation and reflection.
