PrEsentation of the “Hôtel abbatial” Saint Rémy in Lunéville

In the 1730s, the Canons Regular of St. Augustine decided to rebuild their abbey and abbot’s mansion (Hôtel Abbatial), under the direction of the architects Jean-Nicolas Jennesson and, from 1745, Emmanuel Héré, Duke Stanislas Leszczynski’s “Premier architecte”. On the façade of the Hôtel abbatial, a double-flight horseshoe staircase, crowned with a sculpted bas-relief decoration, leads to a sumptuous paved vestibule enriched by a spiral staircase decorated with a wrought-iron banister attributed to the workshops of Jean Lamour. On the ground floor, the ‘en filade’ salons, some of whose walls are covered with wainscoting, have retained their original decor. The most beautiful of them is decorated with a stuccoed frieze (with motifs (putti hunting) reminiscent of the ‘appartements’ of the Dukes of Lorraine in the Château de Lunéville) and a fireplace overmantel with ecclesiastical heraldry. The entire building and its gardens, listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments, have been restored and prepared to accommodate, from 2019, a vast museum of almost 1000m2 on two floors, dedicated to the arts of the 18th century.
