This was once the residence of Jacques-Benigne Bossuet during his time serving as a French Bishop in Meaux. The building was constructed in the 12th century, long before Bossuet actually lived there, however visitors can still see his tombstone on the grounds. There are tours that operate around the palace, including the cathedral and the gardens, that give background to the difference architectural styles that dominate the building. The residence was in constant construction from the 12th century all the way up until the 17th century with the completion of major changes on the lower level. In 1927, the building was listed as a historic landmark and was has since housed the Bossuet Museum.
