More information on Eglise St-Pierre-des-Chartreux

In the 16th century, the Chartreux friars, driven out of the city of Castres by the Protestants, purchased all the grounds north of this church to build a vast monastery (a few of the large cloister's arcades are still visible in the adjacent University Garden). The church nave is divided in two: the first half was for the congregation; only the Chartreux, who had their own separate entrance at the back, used the second. It is beautifully decorated with frescoes, bas-reliefs, series of paintings and a lavish marble altar. To the right of the choir, a tympanum depicting the Last Supper surmounts the door to the Crucifix chapel, which contains magnificent seventeenth-century woodwork.
