Prieuré Saint-Louis de Poissy, Dominican priory in Poissy, France.

The Prieuré Saint-Louis de Poissy stands as a former religious complex with remaining entrance portal and boundary walls in northern France.

Philip IV of France established the priory in 1304 to honor his grandfather Saint Louis, housing 120 Dominican nuns from noble families.

The priory church contained precious liturgical objects and received important ceremonies, including an inauguration attended by 22 bishops and 2 archbishops.

The entrance portal now houses the Toy Museum of Poissy, offering visitors a connection to the medieval religious heritage of the region.

During the 1561 Colloquy of Poissy, the priory refectory hosted discussions between Catholic and Protestant representatives under Charles IX's supervision.
