Couvent des Annonciades, Religious convent in Joinville, France

The Couvent des Annonciades features classical architecture with a monumental staircase and dining hall, constructed in the second half of the 18th century.

Founded around 1550 by Antoinette de Bourbon, wife of Claude de Lorraine, the convent initially served as a Benedictine priory dedicated to Notre-Dame de la Pitié.

The convent represents the religious heritage of Joinville, with its architecture reflecting the changes in French monastic life through different historical periods.

Since 2020, visitors can explore the exterior grounds and specific interior sections, including the grand staircase and former dining halls during scheduled tours.

The convent underwent a complete reconstruction after a devastating fire in 1756, resulting in the current classical architectural style of the buildings.
