Couvent des Ursulines de Rouen, Historical convent in Croix de Pierre district, Rouen, France
The convent features northern wing architecture with two symmetrical staircases, classical facades, and protected roofing structures dating from the 17th century.
The Ursuline sisters established their presence in Rouen in 1617, constructing the convent between 1652 and 1653 with a chapel and main building.
The convent served as an educational institution for young girls, teaching up to 500 students by 1630 through the Ursuline order's commitment to education.
The municipality of Rouen manages the property, which opens its doors during Heritage Days events for public exploration of its architectural elements.
In 1727, several Ursuline sisters from this convent traveled to New Orleans to establish a new convent and manage a hospital in French Louisiana.
