Couvent Sainte-Cécile de Grenoble

Couvent Sainte-Cécile de Grenoble, Religious monastery in central Grenoble, France.

Couvent Sainte-Cécile de Grenoble is a monastery in the city center featuring a chapel, library, and cloister garden within its stone buildings. The complex at Rue Servan retains the characteristic structure of a religious community from earlier centuries.

Five nuns from Rumilly and the Cistercian abbey of Les Ayes arrived in Grenoble on 22 November 1624, Saint Cecilia's day, and founded the monastery in the rue Neuve, today rue Servan, in the Très-Cloître district laid out under the Duc de Lesdiguières. A papal bull of Urban VIII dated 24 July 1628 placed the house under the bishop's jurisdiction rather than Cîteaux's. The community disappeared with the French Revolution.

Since 2009 the former monastery has housed the Éditions Glénat, which hold exhibitions and concerts in the old chapel. On 18 April 2019 a permanent collection of Rembrandt engravings opened to the public there. The building stands on Rue Servan, in the Très-Cloître district laid out under the Duc de Lesdiguières.
