Cordeliers convent in Dole, Renaissance convent in Dole, France.

The Cordeliers convent features a Renaissance portal with four red stone columns supporting a large tympanum at 39 Rue des Arenes.

Founded in 1392 with support from the Burgundy Countess Marguerite I, the convent underwent reconstruction in 1572 and restoration around 1720.

The convent buildings, reorganized in the 18th century, surround a cloister with a 16th-century well at its center.

After serving as a courthouse until 2017, the building now houses 13 apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units.

During the 1636 siege by Cardinal Richelieu's troops, 27 of the 29 resident friars died defending the city of Dole.
