Dominican Convent, Gothic convent in Colmar, France
The Dominican Convent features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall windows that allow natural light to filter through the stone structure.
Founded in 1289, this religious establishment became a center for Dominican friars who dedicated their lives to preaching and teaching in medieval Alsace.
The convent maintains an extensive collection of historical documents and religious manuscripts in the Bibliothèque patrimoniale des Dominicains.
Visitors can access the convent at 1 Place des Martyrs de la Résistance, where guided tours explain the architectural elements and religious history.
The building houses the Madonna of the Rose Bower, a medieval painting that represents the Virgin Mary in a garden setting.
