Most of the building was built in the 17th and 18th centuries by three bishops.chartres.fr/musee-beaux-arts

Small but interesting museum that you should definitely visit when you are in town.

Behind the museum there is a beautiful garden that was created by Bishop Léonor d'Estampes at the beginning of the 17th century. From here you have a good view over the lower town of Chartres.Information about current exhibitions, opening times and prices can be found here: chartres-tourisme.com/de/erkunden/alle-visites/musee-des-beaux-arts-palais-episcopal-1360301
