Couvent des Capucins de Bitche, Capuchin convent in Bitche, France
The Capuchin Convent of Bitche features baroque architectural elements with spaces designed for prayer, including halls and meditation areas within stone walls.
Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine, established the convent in 1629 to restore Catholic faith in a region where Lutheran beliefs were prevalent.
The convent transformed into an educational center when Augustinian fathers created a monastic school in 1724 to meet local educational needs.
The building underwent reconstruction in 1955 following World War II damage and now stands as a municipal property after its sale in 1994.
During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the convent served as a field hospital for wounded soldiers after bombardments on Bitche.
