What is the name of the asylum where Van Gogh stayed in Saint-Rémy?

The asylum where Van Gogh stayed in Saint-Rémy was Saint-Paul-de-Mausole.

The institution occupied a former monastery just outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in southern France. Van Gogh admitted himself on 8 May 1889, following the breakdown in Arles that resulted in the mutilation of his left ear. He remained there until May 1890, receiving treatment while continuing to work.

The setting became closely tied to his art. From Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, Van Gogh painted The Starry Night, views of the asylum, cypress trees, olive groves, and surrounding wheat fields. He had a room for living and another space for painting, although illness sometimes prevented him from working.

A common mix-up is confusing the asylum with Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the nearby town, or with Auvers-sur-Oise, where Van Gogh lived during the final weeks of his life. Saint-Paul-de-Mausole is the institution’s name; it is also often shortened to Saint-Paul asylum.
