Priory of Marast

In the quiet village of Marast, stands the historic Priory of Marast. One of its notable former owners was Humbert of Villersexel, Count of La Roche-en-Montagne, who, along with his wife Marguerite de Charny, is buried in Marast. This couple is historically significant as they were known to have possessed the Shroud of Turin.[1]

The priory, rich in history, features 20 rooms, two spacious attics, and a 12th-century vaulted cellar, all situated on a 3,630 square meter property. While the priory currently serves as a holiday home, it requires renovation. As a designated “monument classé” (protected historical monument), investments made toward its restoration are fully deductible from French taxes, providing a unique opportunity for prospective owners to convert tax obligations into property improvements and potential capital gains.[1]

Adjacent to the priory is a state-owned church that attracts visitors as a tourist site. Both the priory and the church are situated along the Route of Santiago de Compostela, a renowned pilgrimage route.[1]

With its remarkable architectural features and historical significance, the priory offers exceptional potential for development or preservation.
