Couvent des Minimes de Grenoble, 17th century convent in Grenoble, France.

The Couvent des Minimes features three residential wings arranged around a cloister with high rounded arches and stone balustrades.

Founded in 1644 through letters patent from King Louis XIV, the convent initially served as a monastery for the Minim friars order.

The convent chapel, converted into the Olivier Messiaen concert hall in 1981, displays classical architecture with a white limestone facade.

Located at 13 Rue du Vieux-Temple, the former religious complex now functions as a youth center and musical performance venue.

The monastery hosted an unexpected group of slaves in September 1785, requiring the friars to provide temporary accommodation during their journey.
