History:
The former representative administrative building of a monastery is located in a listed area, built by the architect Jean-Baptiste Kléber in the classicist style around 1787
From 1990 until his sudden death in 2020, Matthias Kaiser, who went by the stage name Tass, created elaborate furniture here, organized exhibitions and projects with young people and, together with his wife Nancy Hamunzala and current owner, rented out the premises for private parties and via Airbnb.
Location:
The property is only a few minutes‘ walk from the main street of Lure-Zentrum – an idyllic tranquil oasis. Thanks to the huge plot of land, there are many possibilities for use.
The small town of Lure with around 8,000 inhabitants is located between Belfort and Vesoul in the department of Haute-Saône, Vosges-Sud. Lure has all the advantages of a small town. Good train connections to Mulhouse / Paris (F) and to Basel (CH) and Freiburg im Breisgau (D).
