Conference/ Midis Découvertes – The eastern wing of the cloister at La Cambre Abbey – exceptional remains of the 13th-century building – Results of the latest archaeological campaigns
The Midis Découvertes are an opportunity to enjoy a sandwich during an accessible and popularised scientific lecture. All this in the unique setting of the Péristyle, an open-air conference area with a breathtaking view over the Parc du Cinquantenaire.
Patrice Gautier, from the Museum Art & History, takes you on a tour of the exceptional medieval remains of the eastern wing of the cloister at La Cambre Abbey, which are still largely unknown. Recent campaigns of work on this wing have revealed the primitive medieval spaces of the cloister square, both in plan and in elevation. This lecture takes us back 800 years in time, using archaeology to understand the development of the core of the abbey from its origins until it was abolished at the end of the 18th century.
