Couvent des Cordelières, Medieval convent ruins in 13th arrondissement, France
The Convent of Cordelières features Gothic architectural elements, including a refectory visible from Rue de Julienne in Paris.
Founded in 1270 by Gallien de Poix following Marguerite de Provence's request, the convent housed Franciscan nuns until the French Revolution.
The convent grounds transformed through centuries, from religious institution to industrial space, and later became part of Hospital Broca.
The remaining Gothic refectory structure stands as a testament to medieval architecture and can be observed from the street level.
The establishment housed Blanche, daughter of Marguerite de Provence, who spent her final days within these walls until 1320.
