About LE CHAPITRE
Le Chapitre was planned in 1786 as a residence for higher clergy by the Abbot of Reinbach, the provost of the chapter. The original plan, which was signed by the young Jean-Baptiste Kléber, who later became the general of Napoleon, now represents Lure’s rich history.
In 1999, the property received the status of a Landmark building.
