Maison Seilhan
The Maison Seilhan (a French name meaning Seilhan House, occasionally used as such in English), is a historic residence in Toulouse, France, considered the place where the Order of Preachers (Dominican Order) was founded. It was given to Dominic de Guzmán during the division of the inheritance of Bernard Seilhan, a local magistrate of the Count of Toulouse, on 25 April 1215. The deed is preserved in the French National Archives. The Maison Seilhan features various artistic works depicting the saints of the Dominican Order and memorabilia related to Henri-Dominique Lacordaire (1802–1861), the restorer of the Order in France. The Maison Seilhan, which includes Saint Dominic's room, can be visited on certain days of the week, but access to the chapel with its coffered ceiling (Bruno de Solages Amphitheatre) is not guaranteed, as classes from the Catholic Institute of Toulouse may be held there.
