Couvent des Anglaises, Religious complex in 13th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Couvent des Anglaises stands at 28 rue des Tanneries, featuring a traditional design with cells and a cloister constructed in 1693.
Seven English Benedictine nuns established the convent in 1664 after fleeing religious persecution, purchasing land in the faubourg Saint-Marcel district of Paris.
The convent maintains Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, religious ceremonies, and educational activities focused on monastic practices and spirituality.
Access to the convent requires advance arrangements through official channels, with specific visiting hours and guided tours available for interested groups.
During the French Revolution, the convent transformed into a detention center, housing notable prisoners including Marie Louise O'Murphy and Jacques Duval d'Espréménil.
