Couvent des Jacobins, Dominican convent in Saint-Sever, France.
The Couvent des Jacobins exhibits Gothic architecture with a flat chevet church, broken barrel roof, and a cloister built in pink brick and stone.
Eleanor of Castile, wife of King Edward I of England, supported the establishment of this Dominican convent in 1280 to control the newly annexed urban area.
The convent houses the Museum of Art and History of Cap de Gascogne, which displays collections representing the regional heritage in its north and west wings.
The monument welcomes visitors throughout the day at Rue du Général Lamarque in Saint-Sever, with guided tours available during summer afternoons.
After the French Revolution, this religious building transformed into multiple facilities, including a school, fire station, municipal baths, and agricultural institution.
