Couvent des Clarisses Urbanistes de Fougères, 17th century convent in Fougères, France.
The convent features a cloister surrounded by buildings constructed of granite and schist, including a ground floor, one main floor and two attic levels.
Built in 1680 for the Urbanist Poor Clares from Laval, the building endured a fire in 1794 and served as a military prison during the French Revolution.
Sister Jeanne Le Royer, who lived in the convent between 1732 and 1798, left her mark through her prophetic writings.
The complex now houses a municipal cultural center, the René Guizien intermunicipal music conservatory, and a visual arts school.
The convent chapel displays a particular architecture with a nave, projecting transept and choir, its roof matching the adjacent buildings.
